What’s wrong
The seat belt stays can break, posing an injury hazard to consumers 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.
