Freightliner 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.
The short version
Daimler Trucks North America reported a problem with the seat belts. Here is what owners need to know.
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, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No.
If the latch plate remains partially engaged after the button is pressed, egress from the vehicle could be hindered which would increase the risk of injury in the event of an emergency.
DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the seat belt buckle, as necessary, free of charge.
