Seat Belt Assembly/FMVSS 209
Description
Seats Incorporated (Seats) is recalling certain seats that are equipped with IMMI-brand L9 end-release 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, this equipment fails to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."
Injuries / Consequence
If the seat belt buckle stays latched when the button is pressed, there is an increased risk of injury in an emergency, or the seat belt may not properly release in the event of a crash.
Remedy
Seats has notified its customers that bought seats with IMMI seat belts. Seats will work with IMMI to provide replacement buckles, free of charge. Owners may contact Seats at 1-800-767-3287.
