Navistar, Inc.: Seat Belts
Navistar, Inc. reported this defect to federal regulators on Oct 18, 2017 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 47. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect

Under load, the seat belt buckle mount rod can fracture.

The risk
In the event of a crash, if the buckle mount rod fractures, the seat occupant may not be restrained, increasing their risk of injury.

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the 3-point seat belt rods, free of charge. The recall began on December 14, 2017. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-331-332-1590. Navistar's number for this recall is 17512.

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 17V659000.
