SEAT BELTS — Seat Belt Mounting Bolt Torque/FMVSS 209 · March 19, 2014

The problem

Autocar Industries, LLC (Autocar) is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 Xpert vehicles manufactured July 11, 2011, through March 5, 2014. The bolts used to anchor the seat belts may be insufficiently tight to withstand the forces experienced in certain crashes. As such, these vehicles do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicles Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."

Risk

If the seat belt does not properly restrain the seat occupant, there is an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash.
