What NHTSA recorded

The safety belt anchorage bolts do not comply with the requirements of fmvss 210, "seat belt assembly anchorages". The seat anchorages could not maintain load of 5,000 lbs for 10 seconds.

Possible consequence

The safety belts might not adequately protect seatoccupants in the event of a sudden stop or accident.

Remedy

Replace the anchorage bolts with bolts of a larger diameter, which meet the load requirements of fmvss 210.
