Recall 1987059

The issue

VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN PRODUCED WITHOUT THE BUCKLE PORTION OF THE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY FIRMLY ANCHORED TO THE FLOOR. THE ANCHOR BOLT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN INSERTED THROUGH THE HOLE IN THE ANCHOR TAB OF THE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY LEAVING THE ASSEMBLY RETAINED ONLY BY A HEAVY STAPLE THROUGH THE WEBBING AND PLASTIC BOOT. SUCH A BELT ASSEMBLY WOULD NOT WITHSTAND A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT LOAD. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND SEAT BELT AND ANCHOR BOLT WILL BE CORRECTLY INSTALLED IF NECESSARY.

Description (français)

Il se peut que la boucle des ceintures de sécurité ne soit pas fixée solidement au plancher, c'est-à-dire que le boulon d'ancrage peut ne pas avoir été introduit dans le trou de la patte d'ancrage. Dans ce cas, les ceintures sont retenues uniquement par un gros crampon dans le tissé et le fourreau en plastique; l'ancrage ne peut donc pas supporter un accident.
