Safety Belt Solutions Ltd. (Safety Belt Solutions) is recalling certain seat belts with part number 202441-1/MFG 35FB9. The seat belt tongues may not have been heat-treated correctly during manufacturing. As such, these seat belts fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."
Incorrectly heat-treated seat belt tongues may not properly restrain an occupant in the event of a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
Safety Belt Solutions will notify the manufacturer that purchased the equipment, and Safety Belt Solutions will test the seat belts, and replace them as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 14, 2021. Owners may contact Safety Belt Solutions customer service at +44 (0) 2393 079 064 (International number).
