Seat belts
The defect
Autoliv, Inc. (Autoliv) is recalling certain Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) seat belt assemblies. The ALR may deactivate early, before the webbing is fully retracted. As such, these assemblies fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
The risk
A seat belt retractor that does not function as intended can increase the risk of injury during a crash.
The remedy
Autoliv will work with the vehicle manufacturers, and provide replacement seatbelt assemblies for any non-compliant products free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a schedule for recall notification. Owners may contact Autoliv customer service at 1-248-276-0722.
