Western Star seat belt mounting plate may have a drill hole that is too large.
The short version
Daimler Trucks North America LLC reported a problem with the seat belts. Here is what owners need to know.
The seat belt mounting plate may have a drill hole that is too large.
If the plate has a hole that is too big, the plate may fail when it stressed such as in the event of a crash, preventing the seat belt from adequately restraining the seat occupant, increasing the risk of injury.
DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will reinforce the seat belt mounting plate, free of charge.
