Mitsubishi Truck Canter: Seat Belt May Not Perform Correctly

Recall Summary Mitsubishi is recalling 5 Canter trucks in the United Kingdom because a rivet that secures the seat belt's inertia reel may loosen over time. A loose rivet can cause the seat belt to stop working properly, which creates a safety risk in a crash. The company will replace the affected seat belts.
