What's wrong?
The driver's seat belt buckle stalk is the short, fixed piece beside the seat that holds the buckle where the driver can reach it. It lets the latch plate click into place and keeps the belt secured across the driver before the vehicle moves. In 2020-2023 Dennis Eagle Proview vehicles, this stalk is part of the driver's seat assembly, so its height affects how easily the belt can be buckled.
On affected Proview vehicles, the buckle stalks ordered for production were too short. That leaves the buckle lower and harder to reach, and drivers wearing work gloves can have trouble engaging or disengaging the latch. The recall repair replaces the shorter stalk with a longer one so the buckle sits higher and is more accessible.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is present whenever the buckle is hard to reach or difficult to click into place, especially with gloves on. If the belt does not latch cleanly, the driver cannot rely on the restraint being secured as designed.
