On certain fire trucks, the suspension seat restraining tethers are too long to ensure compliance with CMVSS 207. The seat tether restrains the seat during pull testing as the suspension components are not designed to restrain the seat on their own. The longer seat tethers may not adequately restrain the seat during a vehicle crash, increasing the risk of injury to the occupant. Correction: Dealers will replace the seat tethers with shorter ones.
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 2005312.
