Equipment Information :
Brand / Trade 1 : Autoliv Model : Seat Belt Assembly
Part No. : See Descriptive Info Size : NR
Function : NR
Descriptive Information : Certain seat belt assemblies manufactured by certain Autoliv Group companies between October 26, 2020 and January 27, 2021 have an automatic locking retractor (ALR) that may deactivate early. An ALR subcomponent supplier supplied subcomponents that were dimensionally out of tolerance, which may prevent the ALR from functioning as intended. The recall population was determined based on a review of production records. The reported "Number Potentially Involved" represents the number of seat belt assemblies that may contain noncompliant components that Autoliv knows were delivered to automotive customers for installation in vehicles sold in the United States. Autoliv is continuing its investigation by working with other customers to verify whether additional vehicles were imported into the United States that may contain non-compliant components. Autoliv estimates the percentage of seat belt assemblies with the non-compliance to be approximately 0.068%. Autoliv Part Nos: 641369000, 641369400; 633945200, 633953800; 639603400, 649178748, 649179235, 649179248, 649180048; 640104000, 640115800, 640826300, 640827300, 642991200, 642991300.

Description of Noncompliance :
Description of the Autoliv has determined that these seat belt assemblies do not comply with Noncompliance : FMVSS 208 S7.1.1.5, which requires each designated seating position except
the driver's position to have "a seat belt assembly whose lap belt portion is lockable so that the seat belt assembly can be used to tightly secure a child restraint system." The subject seat belt assemblies have a feature that converts the retractor from an emergency locking retractor (ELR) to an automatic locking retractor (ALR). The seat belts convert to the ALR mode after the webbing has been fully withdrawn from the retractor. The system is designed so that as the seat belt is released into the retractor, the ALR function remains active so a child restraint seat can be tightly secured. However, in certain seat belt assemblies the ALR function deactivates early before the webbing is fully retracted. FMVSS 1 : 208 - Occupant crash protection FMVSS 2 : NR Description of the Safety Risk : This noncompliance does not impact the compliance or functionality of the seat belt assemblies with respect to their normal use by adult passengers or use of the LATCH system to secure child restraint seats. With child restraint seats for which the vehicle owner elects to use the seat belt to secure the child restraint seat instead of the LATCH system, if the seat belt is not lockable so that the seat belt assembly can be used to tightly secure the child restraint seat, there is an increased risk of injury in a crash to the occupant of the child restraint seat. Description of the Cause : The subcomponent supplier of the ALR levers used in the subject seat belt assemblies produced dimensionally out of tolerance parts that may cause the ALR to deactivate before the seat belt webbing is fully retracted. Identification of Any Warning A vehicle owner who elects to use the seat belt instead of the LATCH system to that can Occur : secure a child restraint seat will notice that the audible clicking noise made when the ALR function is activated stops well before the seat belt webbing is fully retracted.

Chronology : On December 15, 2020, the Autoliv Group facility in Romania noticed an unusual level of rejections at its endof-line retractor testing station. On December 16, 2020, Autoliv opened an investigation and initiated sorting and containment activities and visual inspections of the subcomponents used in the manufacture of the ALR system for the seat belt assembly. The investigation revealed a sink mark in the functional area of some ALR levers and this dimensional deviation was identified as the possible root cause of the end-of-line rejections. On January 7, 2021, Autoliv raised a quality alert across its global network and initiated a process to contain all suspect ALR levers within its control. Autoliv continued its investigation into the root cause and the impact the sink mark may have on the ALR function in different retractor configurations. Autoliv also performed comprehensive tests and analysis to evaluate the potential impact on occupant safety. Autoliv's assessment of the impact the sink mark may have on different retractor configurations continues. However, the analysis shows that the seat belt assembly continues to operate as intended and there is no degradation in seat belt performance. On June 7, 2021, Autoliv's Critical Concern Executive Board determined that noncompliance with FMVSS 208 cannot be ruled out and determined that this Part 573 notice was necessary with regard to certain seat belt assemblies manufactured between October 26, 2020 and January 27, 2021 by certain Autoliv Group companies that may incorporate the suspect ALR levers.
Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : All potentially affected automotive customers have been informed. If the automotive customers conclude that the information described above presents an issue in their application that needs to be addressed, Autoliv will provide replacement seat belt assemblies for any noncompliant products free of charge. Autoliv has recommended that its automotive customers submit a petition for inconsequential noncompliance for all or some of the noncompliant seat belt assemblies. If an automotive customer elects not to file a petition or only files a petition for some of the subject seat belt assemblies, Autoliv recommends a two-step "test-and-replace" remedy that requires replacement of all noncompliant seat belt assemblies (i.e., where the ALR deactivates early during an in-vehicle test).
How Remedy Component Differs The ALR system in the replacement seat belt assemblies contain ALR from Recalled Component : levers that were manufactured according to production specification.
Identify How/When Recall Condition Changes to the production parameters at the subcomponent supplier was Corrected in Production : ensure that this issue can no longer occur from January 11, 2021, onward.
