On certain school buses equipped with seatbelts (options SBK2 and SBK3), belt webbing may have been incorrectly inserted into the tongue during vehicle assembly. As a result, the seat occupant may not be properly restrained during a crash, increasing the risk of personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the seatbelt assembly.
