Description

Indiana Mills and Manufacturing Inc. (IMMI) has determined that certain seat belt assemblies manufactured from August 2, 2013, through October 31, 2013, fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies." When the button is pressed to release the seat belt, the latch plate can become partially engaged with the buckle, and it may take more effort than specified in the standard to separate the latch plate from the buckle.
