What is wrong
Kiel N.A. LLC., (Kiel) is recalling certain Avance coach seats, part numbers 2025 and 2050. The automatic locking retractor (ALR) mode of the seat belts supplied with these seats cannot be activated.

What can happen
A seat belt that doesn't function properly can increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

Recall repairs are free of charge.
Kiel will notify the coach bus manufacturers that purchased the seat belts, and dealers for those manufacturers will replace the affected belts, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a schedule for recall notification. Owners may contact Kiel customer service at 1-574-293-3600.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
