Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

Incorrectly heat-treated seat belt tongues may not properly restrain an occupant in the event of a crash, increasing their risk of injury.

Safety Belt Solutions Ltd.

(Safety Belt Solutions) is recalling certain seat belts with part number 202441-1/MFG 35FB9.

The seat belt tongues may not have been heat-treated correctly during manufacturing.

As such, these seat belts fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 209, “Seat Belt Assemblies.”

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.
