2007 Ottawa Terminal Tractor recall: seat belt
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain 4X2 and 6X4 Terminal tractors equipped with seat anchorage system tethers fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 210, "seat belt assembly anchorages." the tether that anchors the seat at the seat belt attachment point to the floor of the cab has been determined by our supplier to have not met the performance requirements normally provided on the adjuster mechanism.
💥 The risk
In the event of a crash and the tether is not adjusted correctly, the seat and seat belt may not be secured allowing the passenger to be thrown forward, possibly resulting in personal injuries.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install the new tether strap free of charge. The recall began on july 31, 2007. Owners may contact kalmar-ottawa at 785-229-6327.
