The short version

Daimler Trucks North America reported a problem with the seat belts. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

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.

WHY IT MATTERS

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.

WHAT TO DO

DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the seat belt buckles, as necessary, free of charge.
