Component:
Seat belts:front:anchorage
Manufactured:
07/31/1988 - 08/29/1995
Affected:

Defect:
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:
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.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the existing anchor bolts with a new shoulder bolt and thread locking adhesive. additionally, noise control patches will be applied at each anchorage.
Notes:
System: interior; active restraints; belt anchor and attachment; fmvss no.210.vehicle description: passenger vehicles.note: 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 buick at 1-800-521-7300; chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020; pontiac at 1-800-762-2737; or oldsmobile at 1-800-442-6537. also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
