WASHINGTON, July 31 (Reuters) - Chrysler-parent Stellantis ( STLA )

said Friday it will recall just over 1.5 million Ram

1500 pickup trucks worldwide over a seat belt issue.

The recall covers 2019-2026 Ram 1500 vehicles that may have

been built with a second-row center or second-row driver side

seat belt buckle anchor that was not properly attached to the

vehicle body structure. The issue could impact the performance

of the second-row seat belt system and increase the risk of

injury to occupants. Stellantis ( STLA ) is aware of one potentially

related injury tied to the recall.

The recall includes 1.27 million vehicles in the United

States, 156,000 in Canada, 15,000 in Mexico and about 75,000

outside North America.
