- Manufactured:
- 05/31/1991 - 05/31/1993
- Affected:

- Defect:
- Vehicle fails to conform to fmvss no. 209, "seat belt assemblies." the safety belt of the left third row seat on the six passenger van and the center second row seat of the seven passenger van may lock up and cannot be withdrawn from the retractor.
