SEAT BELTS:FRONT:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY

Vehicle recall filed Jan 30, 1990 62,000 units

Summary

The problem. Under certain conditions, front seat center, fold-down arm rest may contact the safety belt buckle, causing damage to the release button and preventing the belt tongue from latching when buckling up.

The risk. Occupant would not be properly restrained and could be injured in the event of a sudden stop or accident.

The fix. Replace front seat safety belt buckles with shorter version that will not contact the armrests. Note: owner notification date; 2/90 is prepared in draft form.

System: safety belt buckle.vehicle description: passenger cars.
