2013 PIERCE DASH CF; 2013 PIERCE ARROW XT; 2013 PIERCE IMPEL; 2013 PIERCE VELOCITY
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Pierce Manufacturing is recalling certain 2013 model year Arrow XT, Dash CF, Impel, and Velocity vehicles manufactured between October 2013 and January 2014 that are equipped with IMMI-brand L9 seat belt buckles. The seat belt buckle may not fully release when the button is pressed, causing the latch plate to remain partially engaged. This condition could make the seat belt difficult to unlatch and hinder a person's ability to exit the vehicle quickly in an emergency, increasing the risk of injury.
Pierce will notify owners about the recall, which began June 26, 2014. Dealers will inspect and replace the affected seat belt buckle free of charge. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Pierce Manufacturing at 1-888-974-3723 and reference campaign number 74B246 to arrange service.
