DEFECT #1 - SEATS
Posted on: 1992-12-30
Description
The driver and passenger front outboard occupant seat have been designed with the safety belt anchorage on the seat structure. It is possible, in a vehicle crash, that the seat structure would fail to withstand the forces within the limits set forth in fmvss 207 and fmvss 210.
Consequence
The seating and safety belt systems fail to comply withthe safety standards of fmvss 207 and 210, and could increase the risk of injuryto occupants in the event of a crash or sudden stop.
Corrective Action
Relocate the seat belt anchorage assemblies from the seat pedestal assembly to the vehicle frame through the floor structure to reduce the load on the seat pedestal assembly in the event of a sudden stop or accident.
