(Reuters) -Stellantis is recalling 332,000 Alfa Romeo, Jeep, and Fiat vehicles in the United States over a concern with faulty seat belt sensors, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Wednesday.

"A seat belt buckle switch sensor may be improperly connected, preventing the front seat air bag from deploying as intended," the U.S. auto safety regulator said.

Buckle (NYSE:BKE) sensors are used to detect if the seatbelt is properly engaged.

Dealers will repair the connection for free, according to the NHTSA.
