What is wrong
CERTAIN 4X2 AND 6X4 TERMINAL TRACTORS EQUIPPED WITH SEAT ANCHORAGE SYSTEM TETHERS FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 210, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY ANCHORAGES." THE TETHER THAT ANCHORS THE SEAT AT THE SEAT BELT ATTACHMENT POINT TO THE FLOOR OF THE CAB HAS BEEN DETERMINED BY OUR SUPPLIER TO HAVE NOT MET THE PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS NORMALLY PROVIDED ON THE ADJUSTER MECHANISM.
What can happen
IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH AND THE TETHER IS NOT ADJUSTED CORRECTLY, THE SEAT AND SEAT BELT MAY NOT BE SECURED ALLOWING THE PASSENGER TO BE THROWN FORWARD, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURIES.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL INSTALL THE NEW TETHER STRAP FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JULY 31, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT KALMAR-OTTAWA AT 785-229-6327.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
