SEAT BELTS:CRITICAL FASTENERS
- The defect

- What it can cause
- Loose seat belt mounting fasteners may not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect, secure, or replace the seat belt mounting fasteners, as necessary, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed January 19, 2024. Owners may contact Autocar's customer service at 1-888-218-3611. Autocar's number for this recall is DC-2302.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 373 vehicles this is a small campaign: 52% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Autocar vehicles have been recalled over the seat belts 6 times before this, most recently in January 2021 as 21V030000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 26 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V660000 (steering), 25V209000 (service brakes, air), 25V208000 (electrical system), 25V035000 (forward collision avoidance).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Autocar, LLC with NHTSA on May 25, 2023 as campaign 23V372000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
