The short answer

NHTSA received TRW AUTOMOTIVE PROD., INC.’s report on Apr 20, 2001. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 20, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH, THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS WOULD NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION: RH AIR RIDE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES MANUFACTURED BY TRW BETWEEN AUGUST 1, 2000, AND APRIL 30, 2001, PRODUCED FOR INSTALLATION ON FORD H215 TRUCK PLATFORMS (F650/F750) IN WHICH THE RETRACTOR WAS DESIGNED TO REDUCE THE POTENTIAL FOR “NUISANCE” LOCK UPS FROM OCCURRING.

WITH THIS DESIGN, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT AN INCREASED PAWL TO CAM GAP COULD RESULT IN NO LOCKS UNDER THE CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 209, “SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES.”

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Which ones, by part or lot: the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site gives them where the maker did; this file gives part numbers only where its maker listed them.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
