Seat belts › Front › Webbing

Summary: On certain heavy duty truck/tractors equipped with sears atlas series 35, 70, or 80 driver's seats, when the seats are in their lowest, most rearward adjusted position, they may chafe the seat belt tether that connects from the seat to the back of the cab.
Consequence: This chafing may eventually cut through the tether, thus weakening the effectiveness of the seat belt assembly in a vehicle crash, possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury or death.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect the vehicles for suspect seat codes and will replace the existing 12" seat tethers with new 13.5" tethers. The recall began on October 7, 2005. Owners may contact international at 1-800-448-7825.
