The problem
Eldorado National-Kansas (Eldorado) is recalling certain model year 2015 Amerivan vehicles built on Toyota Sienna chassis manufactured July 1, 2015, to August 20, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the Toyota seat belt tab may not properly latch to the Amerivan's Qstem seat belt buckle assembly. As a result, the seat belt may unlatch unexpectedly when pulled on. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorage."
The risk
If the seat belt unlatches, the occupant would not be properly restrained and is at an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash.
The fix
Eldorado will notify owners, and dealers will install a new Q-stem assembly with an alternate buckle assembly, free of charge. The recall began on October 7, 2015. Owners may contact Eldorado customer service at 1-785-827-1033.
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.
