NHTSA recall 15V413000 · announced June 30, 2015 · filed by Goshen Coach · 2,432 units affected
The problem
Goshen Coach (Goshen) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Pacer, Pacer LS, Pacer LTD, GCII, Impulse, Connection, Commander, G-Force, G-Force Access, G-Force LTD, Sentinel, Sentinel UC, and Mainstream Low Floor buses manufactured August 26, 2013, to June 18, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the passenger seat belts may rub against the metal seat frame and fray. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."
The risk
A frayed seat belt fray may fail to properly restrain the seat occupant in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
What to do
Goshen will notify owners, and dealers will install a plastic sleeve over the metal seat frame, and replace any seat belts that show evidence of fraying, free of charge. The recall began on July 30, 2015. Owners may contact Goshen customer service at 1-877-734-4943.
