• Seat belt buckles. Recall 17V539000 involves 214 buses with Recaro driver seats where the seat belt buckle can become stuck in the locked position, preventing proper latching. This hazard elevates injury risk by potentially allowing operation without a fastened seat belt. Buckle housings will be replaced free of charge.
