The defect

The rivets holding the rear outboard belt d-rings were not heat treated properly causing the heads of the rivets to fracture under load and fail to hold the d-rings to the straps. This does not conform to the requirements of fmvss no. 210, "seat belt assembly anchorages."

The risk

Consequence of non-compliance: this condition can reduce the restraining capabilities of the safety belt in the event of an accident.

The remedy

Dealers will install a reinforcement plate on the rear outboard seat belt assembly anchorages involved in this campaign.
