2015 Eldorado Amerivan recall: seat belt

⚠️ What's wrong

Eldorado National-Kansas (Eldorado) is recalling certain model year 2015 Amerivan vehicles built on Toyota Sienna chassis manufactured July 1, 2015, to August 20, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the Toyota seat belt tab may not properly latch to the Amerivan's Qstem seat belt buckle assembly. As a result, the seat belt may unlatch unexpectedly when pulled on. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorage."

💥 The risk

If the seat belt unlatches, the occupant would not be properly restrained and is at an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash.

🔧 The fix

Eldorado will notify owners, and dealers will install a new Q-stem assembly with an alternate buckle assembly, free of charge. The recall began on October 7, 2015. Owners may contact Eldorado customer service at 1-785-827-1033.

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.)
