Autoliv recall: Seat belts
What is wrong
Autoliv, Inc. (Autoliv) is recalling certain AI2 Seat Belt and Air Bag Initiators manufactured June 16, 2016, to November 4, 2016. The affected initiators could contain an improper generant mix ratio that may prevent the air bags and/or the seat belt pretensioners from deploying in the event of a crash.
What could happen
Air bags and/or seat belt pretensioners that fail to deploy in the event of a crash increase the risk of injury.
The fix
Autoliv has notified the vehicle manufacturers that purchased the initiators and are working with them to determine which vehicles the affected initiators were installed into. As this work progresses, numerous vehicle recalls will likely be announced by the impacted vehicle manufacturers. Owners may contact Autoliv at 1-248-276-0722.
