NHTSA recall 94E013000 · Equipment
Unknown or other
The defect
The keeper springs (from the snap hooks) can become disengaged from the hook/keeper, allowing inadvertent release of the snap hook.
The risk
This would not adequately restrain a wheel chair passenger in the event of a sudden stop or accident and could result in a personal injury.
The remedy
The defective hook will be replaced with a new design hook which will not allow the spring to escape from the hook. These hooks have been provided to distributors.
