October 28, 2013

A seatbelt issue has led to a recall notice for certain Foton Aumark and ISF trucks.

Customers will receive a letter instructing them to contact their preferred Foton dealer.

For any additional information and assistance, call Foton Customer Assist on the toll free number, 1800 355 321.

“It has been found on a very small number of vehicles that the driver’s seatbelt stalk mounting eyelet flange may have been crimped onto the seatbelt stalk cable at the wrong angle,” the notice reads.

“Over an extended period of time, the defective seatbelt stalk may wear prematurely and fail to operate as intended, possibly resulting in injury in the event of an accident.”
