What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Taizhou Tianda Rope & Belt Co. Ltd (Taizhou Tianda) is recalling certain Seat Belts, model TN (part number 67SA1-04501-A1), manufactured June 1, 2013, to October 20, 2013. Improper manufacturing of the seat belt buckle may prevent the seat belts from being easily unlatched.

The risk

If the seat belt cannot be easily unlatched, egress from the vehicle could be hindered, increasing the risk of injury in the event of an emergency.

The remedy

Taizhou Tianda will notify the affected vehicle manufacturer who will contact the owners and replace the defective buckles, free of charge. The recall began April 3, 2015. Owners may contact Taizhou Tianda customer service at 1-866-617-2127.

Notes

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.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

NHTSA publishes recalls against vehicles we may not have imported, and equipment recalls are not always tied to a specific make and model. Check the official record for what it covers.
