Seagrave Emergency Vehicles Recalled for Seat Belt Buckle Defect

Seagrave is recalling 2013-2014 emergency vehicles because seat belt buckles may fail to release, hindering egress during emergencies.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, specifically hindering egress during an emergency.

Plain-English summary

Seagrave Fire Apparatus, LLC is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 TB30CS, TT06CX, and XVOICS emergency vehicles, as well as 2014 TVOHCX and TB50CO emergency vehicles. These vehicles are equipped with IMMI-brand L9 seat belt buckles that may fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."

The defect involves the latch plate becoming partially engaged with the buckle when the release button is pressed, making the seat belt difficult to unlatch. If the latch plate remains partially engaged, egress from the vehicle could be hindered, which would increase the risk of injury in the event of an emergency.

Dealers will inspect and replace the seat belt buckle, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began in late July 2014. Owners may contact Seagrave at 1-800-732-4728 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
