Summary
Certain my 2005 and 2006 collins bantam, grand bantam, super bantam, and omni school buses manufactured between November 2005 and June 2006, for failing to comply with all the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 209, "seat belt assemblies", and no. 210, "seat belt assembly anchorages." the web of the belt rubs up against the retractor's metal sleeve causing friction and abrasion, and over time, may fray the belt.
Consequence
In the event of a vehicle crash, the seat occupant may not be properly restrained possibly resulting in injury.
Remedy
Collins will notify owners and replace the seat belt free of charge. The recall began on January 7, 2008. Owners may contact collins at 1-800-533-1850.
Notes
Customers may contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

Has your Collins been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Collins dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
