What’s wrong with it?

The notice gives no hazard in a field of its own.

WHEN USED WITH THE REAR SOFA SEATS, THE SEAT BELT BUCKLES CAN FAIL.

THIS DOES NOT CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 207, “SEATING SYSTEMS,” AND FMVSS NO. 210, “SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY ANCHORAGES.”

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.
