NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 96V219000 Potential Number Of Units Affected: 1,573 Summary: These vehicles were manufactured with seat belt retractors out of design position which can cause the retractor to lock-up on slopes less severe than the FMVSS requirement. This does not comply with FMVSS #209, "Seat Belt Assemblies." Remedy: Dealers will inspect the seat belts for proper front seat belt retractor position. Retractors found to be improperly positioned will be reinstalled correctly. Notes: Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Pontiac at 1-800-762-2737. Dates of Manufacture: June - Sept 1996 Manufacturer Recall Number: 06069 |
