2008 Autocar ACX recall: seat belt
⚠️ What's wrong
Autocar is recalling 37 my 2008 ACX chassis supplied to grove U.S. For conversion into cranes. The seat belt tether between the seat belt floor anchor point and the suspension seat belt anchor point was not installed.
💥 The risk
In the event of a severe impact, failure to install the tether strap may cause the seat and seat belt to deform and separate from the mounting location, increasing the risk of a fatal injury.
🔧 The fix
Autocar is working with grove to have these chassis inspected and to replace the seat belt assemblies free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners may contact autocar at 1-765-489-6001.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
