What NHTSA recorded

The bolts that attach the d-shaped ring for the shoulder belt are inadequately supported by the material in which they are mounted. The attachment does not comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 210, "seat belt assembly anchorages".

Remedy

Dealers will install new attaching hardware to improve the strength of the mounting.
