What NHTSA recorded

Vehicle description: conversion vans. The inboard buckles for the driver's and front passenger seats were installed on a seat bar attached to the seat pedestal. This raised the buckle location closer than permitted by the requirements of fmvss no. 208, "occupant crash protection."

Possible consequence

In the event of a crash, the occupant may not be properly restrained, increasing the risk of personal injury.

Remedy

Dealers will remove the inboard seat belt buckles for the driver and front passenger seats and then remove a portion of the seat belt bar of each seat. Two new saeat belt buckles will be installed to the rear inboard floor stud.
