  Possible consequence: In the event of a crash, the seat occupant may not be properly restrained.

  Remedy: Dealers will replace the door latch switch with a switch that utilizes reduced lubricating grease, improved contact surface, and a different rubber isolation boot.

• 97V073002May 12, 199724,000 vehicles potentially affected
  Seat belts › Front › Anchorage
  Covers: Dodge Colt 1992–1993, Plymouth Colt 1992–1993, Eagle Summit 1992–1993

  Reported issue: The guide rail on the driver's side contains a covered cable and also an angled belt guide at the top end of the webbing. The combination of these factors can lead, over time, to the cable's movement exerting abrading force to the lower edges of the cable's chamber, sufficient to cause the cable to drop out of the chamber with the shoulder belt anchorage becoming stuck.

  Possible consequence: In the event of a crash, the seat occupant may not be properly restrained.

  Remedy: Dealers will install a new replacement guide rail that incorporates a double lip dust seal and an anodic oxide coating.
