- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)

- Manufacturer's number: FL\-725

## What is wrong

Daimler Trucks North America LLC \(DTNA\) is recalling certain model year 2014\-2017 Western Star 4900 and 5700 trucks manufactured March 22, 2013, to September 23, 2016 and equipped with a Stratosphere sleeper cab.  The seat belt mounting plate may have a drill hole that is too large.


## What can happen

If the plate has a hole that is too big, the plate may fail when it stressed such as in the event of a crash, preventing the seat belt from adequately restraining the seat occupant, increasing the risk of injury.


## The remedy

DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will reinforce the seat belt mounting plate, free of charge.  An interim notice was mailed to owners on December 7 2016.  The final remedy is now available.  A second notice was mailed to owners on February 24, 2017.  Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1\-800\-547\-0712.  DTNA's number for this recall is FL\-725.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
