Summary of the Safety Concern:
THE SAFETY BELT LENGTH DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS TO FIT A 95TH PERCENTILE DUMMY IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT POSITION IF THE SEAT IS IN FULL FORWARD POSITION. THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 208, "OCCUPANT CRASH PROTECTION." |
||
|
Consequence:
CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE: LARGE PERSONS IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT WOULD BE EXPOSED TO INCREASED RISK OF INJURY IN A SUDDEN STOP OR CRASH. |
||
|
Remedy:
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SHORTER SAFETY BELT WITH A LONGER BELT THAT OFFERS THE PROTECTION SET FORTH IN THE STANDARD. |
