Autocar Industries, LLC "Autocar" is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 Xpert vehicles manufactured July 11, 2011, through March 5, 2014. The bolts used to anchor the seat belts may be insufficiently tight to withstand the forces experienced in certain crashes. As such, these vehicles do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicles Safety Standard "FMVSS" number 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."
If the seat belt does not properly restrain the seat occupant, there is an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Autocar will notify owners, and dealers will tighten the seat belt mounting bolts, free of charge. The recall is began in June 2014. Owners may contact Autocar at 1-765-489-5499. Autocar's number for this recall is M-1401.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.safercar.gov.
