- Canada — Transport Canada, Vehicle Recalls Database
Certain trucks were built with driver and passenger seats; which, when the seat belt is extended completely from the non- locking retractor, buckled and adjusted around the occupant's pelvic area, may not allow the belt to remain sufficiently snug during vehicle operation. This condition may allow undesirable occupant movement during a sudden vehicle manuever and present a potential for personal injury in the event of a crash. Note: This recall superseded by recall 1986135.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 1985088.
