Recall summary
A seat belt is attached to the seat’s base at one end and to the vehicle’s chassis at the other. If the seat belts in the affected cars are removed for any reason, their anchoring points may get damaged during re-fitting, which can cause them to detach in a crash.
Recall risks
A seat belt with a loose anchoring point might not provide sufficient protection in a crash, upping the risk of injury.
