What is wrong: Van Hool N.V. (Van Hool) is recalling certain model year 2012 A300L, 2011 C2045, 2011-2013 T2145, 2012-2015 TD925, 2016 TDX25, and 2014-2015 TX45 motor coaches equipped with certain Recaro Ergo-M Commercial Bus Driver Seats. The affected seats have J-Brackets that may be missing welds which could allow the seat belt anchorage assembly to separate from the J-Bracket.
Risk: If the seatbelt anchorage assembly separates from the J-Bracket, the bus driver may not be properly restrained in the event of a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
Remedy: Van Hool will notify owners, and dealers for the manufacturer of the seat will inspect the seats to determine if welds are missing. Any J-Bracket that is missing welds will be removed and replaced, free of charge. The recall began on May 25, 2016. Van Hool's recall number for this campaign is P814-SB1354.
