The defect
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.
The risk
The safety belts might not adequately protect seatoccupants in the event of a sudden stop or accident.
The remedy
Replace the anchorage bolts with bolts of a larger diameter, which meet the load requirements of fmvss 210.
