What's wrong?
The seat belt mounting fasteners in 2020-2023 Autocar Legend trucks are the bolts and hardware that hold each belt anchor to the cab structure. In normal use, those fasteners keep the belt fixed in place so the belt can hold an occupant against the seat during a hard stop or crash.
On affected trucks, a manufacturing error left the seat belt fasteners improperly secured. Autocar found that the torque process and thread locking compound used during assembly did not leave the fasteners secured as intended. If the hardware loosens, the belt anchor can move instead of staying locked to the cab.
An owner or driver can notice a loose seat belt before the fastener fully fails. If the belt anchor shifts, rattles, or feels loose when pulled by hand, that is the warning sign to report to the dealer.
