Every line below is in CPSC’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
The seat bracket, to which the seat belt is attached, could have been positioned incorrectly during the manufacturing process, resulting in a poor weld. In a tractor roll over, the weight of the operator could cause the bracket to break off the seat’s pivot plate.
