Volkswagen Australia has recalled 716 examples of the current-generation Amarok, due to a fault which could lead to the driver’s seatbelt not working properly in a crash.
“Due to a manufacturing defect, the driver’s seatbelt may have been incorrectly anchored. As a result, the seatbelt may not operate as intended,” the carmaker said in its recall notice.
“In the event of an accident, if the seatbelt does not operate as intended, the occupant may not receive the full protection of the seatbelt system. This could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants.”
