What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where the seat belt may fail to restrain occupants, creating a risk of injury in a crash, but no specific injuries or deaths are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Eldorado National-Kansas is recalling certain model year 2015 Amerivan vehicles built on Toyota Sienna chassis manufactured between July 1, 2015, and August 20, 2015. The recall involves 23 affected vehicles.

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. These vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorage."

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. 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 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
