• 96V219000Nov 4, 19961,573 vehicles potentially affected
  Seat belts › Front › Retractor
  Covers: Chevrolet Camaro 1997, Pontiac Firebird 1997

  Reported issue: These vehicles were manufactured with seat belt retractors out of design position which can cause the retractor to lock-up on slopes less severe than the fmvss requirement. This does not comply with fmvss no. 209, "seat belt assemblies."

  Possible consequence: In the event of a vehicle collision, unbelted occupants are more at risk of injury than those using seat belts.

  Remedy: Dealers will inspect the seat belts for proper front seat belt retractor position. Retractors found to be improperly positioned will be reinstalled correctly.
