The issue
VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH BOSTRUM SUSPENSION SEATS AND INDIANA MILLS 2 POINT KOMFORT-LOK RETRACTING SEAT BELTS MAY HAVE SEAT BELT RETRACTORS WHICH MAY NOT LOCK IN AN EMERGENCY DUE TO INTERFERENCE BETWEEN THE SEAT CUSHION AND SEAT BELT RETRACTOR HOUSING. IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION OR SUDDEN STOP, THE DRIVER MAY NOT BE ADEQUATELY RESTRAINED AND INJURY COULD RESULT. CORRECTION: SEAT BELT SPACERS WILL BE INSTALLED TO ELIMINATE INTERFERENCE BETWEEN THE SEAT CUSHION AND SEAT BELT RETRACTOR HOUSING.
