Seat belts: front: anchorageReported September 15, 1995 · 2,216,325 vehicles affected
What is wrong
These vehicles were assembled with rear outboard safety belt anchorages that may not withstand the required load. This does not comply with fmvss no.210, "seat belt assembly anchorages."
Risk
Consequence of non-compliance: in a collison, stress can cause the attachment metal to tear and allow the anchorage to separate from the body of the vehicle. The safety belt may not protect an occupant in the event of a vehicle crash.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the existing anchor bolts with a new shoulder bolt and thread locking adhesive. Additionally, noise control patches will be applied at each anchorage.

Watched alot of car races on tv and nascar races are one of those races where drivers do car accidents on purpose so they dont lse a race and people out there do the same on regular roads.you cant stop these humans or robots from doing these things all the time they are like suicide threats like a kamakazi pilot from japan.so think that people should get checked for mental health to see if they are a person who is a kamakazi or a person who is not scared to cause a car accident on purpose these people can looklike any type of person tall short male female.there could be beings out there who cause car accidents on purpose and they have the right to by law given to them by a state a government etc. But want the devil worshipers to stop doing car accidents on purpose they should not have the rights to do that so something that can be done is anyone who is related to the devil and is causing accidents on purpose at places like nascar or any other place like in the nba nfl nhl where they cripple a good player on purpose so the team loses there are rules to taking care of a step child what you cant do to them the devil worshipers are known to make agreements and sign contracts saying they wont do somethings like make a 5 year old boy blind or try to and they are willing to pay the price something priceless worth more then anything in the world they will try and maybe one thing that beings did was take the devil worshipers to court and hold them in a facility and make them do what is right and what the agreements are so people who drive should sign papers with agreements about how they cant cause car accidents on purpose and if that agreement is broken you guys have to give them the right punishment or they wont listen like what does the devil have that you can take away from him to make him do what he they agreed on to make this paper agreement there should be a reason why devil worshipers cant do any more accidents on purpose in sports cars and they have pilots ar
