PACCAR Incorporated: Seat Belts
PACCAR Incorporated reported this defect to federal regulators on Mar 6, 2013 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 17. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
PACCAR is recalling certain model year 2014 Kenworth T270 and T370 trucks, manufactured from January 31, 2013, through February 4, 2013. The left hand seat belt floor pan reinforcement bracket was not positioned correctly during assembly. This could result in the failure of the seat belt anchor mounting.
The risk
In the event of a crash, the failure in the seat belt anchor may increase the risk of injury.
The remedy
PACCAR will notify owners, and dealers will remove, reposition, and reinstall the reinforcement bracket free of charge. The recall began on April 15, 2013. Owners may contact Kenworth at 1-425-828-5000.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 13V082000.
