Yes, in the 70s there was a recall of the seat belts from MG.
But this is a new recall for the aftermarket belts that Moss sells.
It only affects 2 months of manufacture last year.
I still haven't got out to the garage to check mine. I always think of
it when I'm not home.
They are replacing those that need replacing.
