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

What happened

Sutphen Corporation is recalling one model year 2013 Minitower fire truck manufactured in January 2013 that is equipped with IMMI-brand L9 seat belt buckles. The defect involves the latch plate becoming partially engaged with the buckle when the release button is pressed, which makes the seat belt difficult to unlatch and could hinder a person's ability to exit the vehicle in an emergency.

To resolve this issue, Sutphen will notify the owner and send a Sutphen representative to inspect and replace the seat belt buckle at no charge. An affected owner should contact Sutphen customer service at 1-866-287-5549.
