The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary

Van Hool N.V. is recalling certain 2024 CX45 vehicles due to a defect in the seat belt assembly. The attachment screw for the seat belt assembly may break. This issue affects 64 vehicles.
