Mack recall: Seat belts
What is wrong
Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain model year 2014 CXU and MRU trucks manufactured August 12, 2013, through October 9, 2013 and equipped with IMMI-brand L9 seat belt buckles. When the button is pressed to release the seat belt, the latch plate can become partially engaged with the buckle, making the seat belt difficult to unlatch. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."
What could happen
If the latch plate remains partially engaged after the button is pressed, egress from the vehicle could be hindered which would increase the risk of injury in the event of an emergency.
The fix
Mack will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seat belt buckle, and if necessary, replace the seat belt buckles, free of charge. The recall began on January 30, 2014. Owners may contact Mack Trucks at 1-336-393-2000. This is Mack Recall No. SC0373.
