Recall 09V-322: 2006–2009 Girardin G5
GIRARDIN MINIBUS INC. recall for seats, reported to NHTSA on Aug 7, 2009, covering about 16 vehicles.
The problem
Girardin is recalling model year 2006 through 2009 g5 non-school buses manufactured between june 1, 2006 and july 2009 equipped with freedman folding seats. The location of the bolts used for the anchorage of the freedman folding seat installed in these vehicles is improper. The seat floor reinforcement doesn't cover the entire seat bolts fixation because of a cross member interference. These seats fail to conform to the strength requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard nos. 207, "seating systems," and 210, "seat belt assembly anchorages."
The risk
In the event of a crash, the seat and seat belt assembly may not restrain the occupant as intended possibly resulting in injury or death to the seat occupant.
The fix
Girardin will notify owners and repair the buses free of charge. The safety recall began on september 30, 2009. Owners may contact girardin at 1-819-477-2012 ext 401.
