To change rigid seat belt buckles of aisle side passenger seats

Van Hool technical service bulletin SB1480 for 2015-2018 Van Hool CX35, 2015-2018 Van Hool CX45 and 2015-2018 Van Hool TD925 and others.

Bulletin number: SB1480
Component: Seat belts
Summary: To change rigid seat belt buckles of aisle side passenger seats. Subject vehicles have passenger seats equipped with seat belt buckles of which the outer casing may fail. These casings are held in place by one plastic notch only. When subjected to great pressure (e.g. by standing on the buckle or tampering with the buckle), these casings may fail and consequently slide down, thereby uncovering the buckle mechanism. These buckles, as and when the covers have slid down, may give passengers the impression that the buckle mechanism is defective and as such inhibit passengers from buckling up. Van Hool has determined that the seat belt buckles at the aisle side are prone to this phenomenon due to the rigid fixation of these buckles. To address this issue, Van Hool is conducting a Safety Recall to change the rigid seat belt buckles of the aisle side passenger seats by flexible buckles.
