DEFECT #1 - SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE


Posted on: 1995-09-12

These vehicles were assembled with rear outboard safety belt anchorages that may not withstand the required load.  This does not comply with fmvss no.210, seat belt assembly anchorages.

Consequence of non-compliance: in a collison, stress can cause the attachment metal to tear and allow the anchorage to separate from the body of the vehicle.  The safety belt may not protect an occupant in the event of a vehicle crash.
