Recall number 98V168003 · Recall details
Seat belts: front: anchorage
- What is wrong
- The guide rail on the driver's side contains a covered cable and also an angled belt guide at the top end of the webbing. The combination of these factors can lead, over time, to the cable's movement exerting abrading force to the lower edges of the cable's chamber, sufficient to cause the cable to drop out of the chamber with the shoulder belt anchorage becoming stuck.
- Risk
- In the event of a crash, the seat occupant may not be properly restrained.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install a new replacement guide rail that incorporates a double lip dust seal and an anodic oxide coating.

Latches/locks/linkages: doors: latch
- What is wrong
- Excess lubrication can cause the rubber door latch switch cover to deform, and the door latch switch to malfunction, so that the shoulder belt anchorage would remain at the a-pillar when the door was closed.
- Risk
- In the event of a crash, the seat occupant may not be properly restrained.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the door latch switch with a switch that utilizes reduced lubricating grease, improved contact surface, and a different rubber isolation boot.
Recall number 97V063002 · Recall details
Seat belts: front: buckle assembly
- What is wrong
- The front safety belt buckle release buttons can break. These red plastic release buttons are marked "press." if a button breaks, pieces can fall into the buckle assembly causing the buckle to operate improperly.
- Risk
- The safety belts would not provide adequate protection to an occupant in a vehicle crash.
- Remedy
- Owners should promptly check the condition and operation of both front safety belt buckles and carefully inspect the red release button for any breaks or cracks. They should ensure that both buckles are operating properly by inserting each latch plate into its buckle, tugging on the belt to make sure the latch is securely locked, and then pressing the release button. The latch plate should pop out of the buckle when the button is pressed. If either release button shows a sign of breaking or cracking or if either buckle fails to operate properly, owners should promptly contact their authorized dealer to schedule an appointment to have the buckle replaced or repaired, free of charge. The manufacturer is developing a remedy designed to prevent failure of the buttons that are not currently broken.
