IMMI SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Indiana Mills and Manufacturing Inc. (IMMI) is recalling certain seat belt assemblies manufactured between August 2, 2013, and October 31, 2013. These seat belts do not meet federal safety standards because the latch plate can remain partially engaged with the buckle after the release button is pressed, potentially making it difficult to unfasten the seat belt and exit the vehicle quickly in an emergency.
According to the recall notice, IMMI has informed vehicle and seating manufacturers about the defective seat belts. The vehicle manufacturers are expected to provide replacement buckles at no cost to owners of vehicles equipped with these noncompliant seat belt assemblies. Consumers should contact their vehicle manufacturer to determine if their vehicle is affected and to obtain a replacement.

If the latch plate remains partially engaged after the button is pressed, egress from the vehicle could be hindered which would increase the risk of injury in the event of an emergency.
IMMI has notified its customers, who are the vehicle and seating manufacturers. It is IMMI's understanding that the vehicle manufacturers will provide replacement buckles, free of charge, to purchasers of vehicles containing the noncompliant seat belt assemblies.
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.
