NHTSA #18V926000Reported December 18, 2018 · Eldorado National- California, Inc.
Potentially affected: 5 vehicles
Defect description
Eldorado National-California, Inc is recalling certain 2017-2018 Arrivo, EZR Max BRT and Passport buses. When the back seat cushion is rotated from the stowed position to the upright position, the seat cushion may not remain locked into place when under load, such as in a crash or a sudden stop. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 207, "Seating Systems," and number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
Safety consequence
In the event of a crash, if the seat back moves, the seat occupant has an increased risk of injury.
