2010 Freightliner Business Class M2 recall: seat belt
⚠️ What's wrong
Daimler trucks is recalling certain model year 2010 freightliner Business Class M2 vehicles manufactured from august 25, 2009, through september 3, 2009. These vehicles were built with out of specification inboard seat belt anchor plates that are not as robust as intended.
💥 The risk
In the event of an a crash, the seat belt anchorage may not continue to hold in place the seat belt apparatus, increasing the risk of the belt not restraining the seat occupant as intended, and increasing the risk of injury to the occupant.

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.)
