What’s wrong with it?

In the event of a crash, the buckle mount rod may fracture preventing the occupant from being properly restrained, increasing the risk of injury.

These seats, equipped with 3-point lap and shoulder belts, have a buckle mount rod that may fracture under load.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Which ones, by part or lot: the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site gives them where the maker did; this file gives part numbers only where its maker listed them.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
