Check whether your vehicle is affected and follow the manufacturer’s recall instructions — the repair is free.
An unsecured occupant has an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
Freedman will notify the vehicle manufacturers that purchased the seats, and dealers for those companies will replace the retractors, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Freedman customer service at 1-800-443-4540.
