DEFECT #1 - SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE


Posted on: 2002-01-26
Description
Certain sedans fail to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standards no.  210, seat belt assembly anchorages, and no.  214, side impact protection.  These vehicles were manufactured with welds between the door striker and belt-line that do not meet saturn specifications.

Consequence
If the seat belt anchorage on the pillar failed in a crash, the driver could be injured more seriously.  In a side impact, occupants could also be injured more seriously because of greater intrusion or reduced performance of the optional side curtain air bag.

Corrective Action
Dealers will install additional structural fasteners to the driver's side door pillar.  Owner notification began january 22, 2002.  Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact saturn at 1-800-553-6000, prompt #3.

Notes
Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
