Buckle With Flexible Wire
Recall Summary Schnierle safety belt buckles with flexible wire (in sizes 185mm, 220mm, 260mm, and 300mm) are being recalled in Germany because the eyelets that attach the wire cable may not be properly crimped, allowing the cable to detach. If detached, the safety belt cannot properly restrain a passenger during a crash, increasing injury risk. This recall affects vehicle safety belt systems that do not meet regulatory standards.
