What’s wrong with it?

AS PART OF AN ONGOING RECALL CAMPAIGN (93E-040), SOFA SAFETY BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLIES WERE BEING REPLACED.

SOME OF THE CORRECTIVE SAFETY BELT ASSEMBLIES WERE SENT OUT TO DEALERS WHICH WERE OF THE WRONG DESIGN.

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.
