The short version

DAIMLER TRUCKS NORTH AMERICA reported a problem with the front anchorage. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

THESE VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITH OUT OF SPECIFICATION INBOARD SEAT BELT ANCHOR PLATES THAT ARE NOT AS ROBUST AS INTENDED.

WHY IT MATTERS

IN THE EVENT OF AN A CRASH, THE SEAT BELT ANCHORAGE MAY NOT CONTINUE TO HOLD IN PLACE THE SEAT BELT APPARATUS, INCREASING THE RISK OF THE BELT NOT RESTRAINING THE SEAT OCCUPANT AS INTENDED, AND INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE OCCUPANT.

WHAT TO DO

DAIMLER TRUCKS WILL REPAIR THE VEHICLES AND REPLACE THE EXISTING SEAT BELT ANCHOR AS NECESSARY FREE OF CHARGE.
