Freightliner recall: Seat belts

What is wrong

Daimler trucks is recalling certain model year 2010 freightliner business class m2 vehicles manufactured from august 25, 2009, through september 3, 2009. These vehicles were built with out of specification inboard seat belt anchor plates that are not as robust as intended.

What could happen

In the event of an a crash, the seat belt anchorage may not continue to hold in place the seat belt apparatus, increasing the risk of the belt not restraining the seat occupant as intended, and increasing the risk of injury to the occupant.

The fix

Daimler trucks will repair the vehicles and replace the existing seat belt anchor as necessary free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before march 11, 2011. Owners may contact daimler trucks at 1-800-547-0712.
