Certain 4x2 and 6x4 terminal tractors equipped with seat anchorage system tethers fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 210, "seat belt assembly anchorages." the tether that anchors the seat at the seat belt attachment point to the floor of the cab has been determined by our supplier to have not met the performance requirements normally provided on the adjuster mechanism.
