The Hazard!

The affected seatbelts have anchorage bolts with an internal defect that can lead to fracturing if a sudden force is applied. If the bolt fractures, the seatbelt's performance could be compromised in a crash.

What to do...

Contact APV Safety Products, or alternatively the workshop or mechanic who installed the seatbelt. They will check your seatbelt and where required arrange replacement of the bolts. Instructions are also available at apvsafetyproducts.com If you purchased your seatbelt before July 2018, it will not be affected by the defect and recall.
