Summary: Vehicle description: multi-purpose passenger vehicles (long wheel base). An incorrect size/shape of the metal body housing where the right front seat belt is secured allows the seat belt reel to rub against the external housing.

Notes: Owner notification is expected to begin March 15, 2000.

Has your Europa been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Europa dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
