Defect
During the body welding process for light truck cabs, the automated underbody welding machine program is incorrect, resulting in an insufficient number of weld spots near the seat belt anchor points on some units. In a collision, the seat belt anchor area may deform, causing the seat belt to fail to restrain the occupant.

On all vehicles, inspect the affected welds. On any vehicle found to have insufficient weld spots, replace the cab with a known-good unit.
