Number: 96V219000
Date: 1996-Oct-30 |
| Component: Interior
Systems: Active Restraints:
Belt Retractors |
| Defect
Summary: These vehicles
were manufactured with seat belt
retractors out of design position which
can cause the retractor to lock-up on
slopes less severe than the FMVSS
requirement. This does not comply with
FMVSS No. 209, "Seat Belt
Assemblies." |
| Consequence
Summary: In the event of a
vehicle collision, unbelted occupants are
more at risk of injury than those using
seat belts. |
| Corrective
Summary: Dealers will
inspect the seat belts for proper front
seat belt retractor position. Retractors
found to be improperly positioned will be
reinstalled correctly. |
