Tokai Rika Co LTD is recalling 106 front-seat outer right-side seat belt assemblies because the force-limiting mechanism may fail to operate correctly. This defect allows the seat belt to extend further than intended after it has locked during a crash, which can prevent the occupant from being properly restrained. Vehicle manufacturers were notified of this safety issue in February 2023, and affected owners will be provided a free inspection and replacement if necessary.
If the seat belt assembly fails to lock firmly and extends too far, the occupant may not be held securely in place during a collision, significantly increasing the risk of serious injury.
Inspection and potential replacement of the seat belt assembly
