The defect

The risk
If the seat belt cannot adequately restrain passengers, it can increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
The remedy
TMC will notify owners, and dealers will replace the incorrect seat belt with a longer one, free of charge. The recall on April 19, 2017. Owners may contact TMC customer service at 1-877-855-2867. TMC's number for this recall is RC000129.

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.
