The risk
Because the top/bottom eyelets have not been properly crimped, the wire cable can become detached from the eyelets. This means that the safety belt does not restrain the passenger, who is at risk of injury. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
Product: Vehicle part (safety belt system; lap belt), 185 mm / 220 mm / 260 mm / 300 mm.
