Seats Incorporated — SEAT BELTS:FRONT:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY

Is my product affected?

SEATS SEAT

  • Brand SEATS

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Seats Incorporated is recalling certain seats equipped with IMMI-brand L9 end-release seat belt buckles. The buckles may not release properly when the button is pressed because the latch plate can become partially engaged with the buckle, making the seat belt difficult to unlatch. This creates an increased risk of injury in an emergency or during a crash, as the seat belt may not release when needed.

To address this issue, Seats has notified customers who purchased the affected seats and will work with IMMI to provide replacement buckles at no cost. Owners of affected seats should contact Seats at 1-800-767-3287.

What should I do?
