| MLIT filing number | 1131880 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | July 17, 2013 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mazda, Mitsubishi, Suzuki |
| Component | Seat Belt |
| Production period | August 2012 — April 16, 2013 |
| Vehicles affected | 229,351 units |
Defect
The front seat belt retractor is manufactured using an improper method for the locking mechanism, allowing the press-fit joint to loosen. A loose press-fit joint may produce abnormal noise or cause the belt to catch during fastening and unfastening. Continued use in this condition can cause the press-fit component to separate entirely and, in the worst case, the seat belt lock will fail to engage in a collision.
Corrective action
Inspect the seat belts on all vehicles. Where the press-fit joint is not loose, install a loosening-prevention part inside the retractor. Where the press-fit joint is found loose, replace the seat belt assembly with a conforming unit.
