All recalls

Seat belts: front: retractorReported November 4, 1996 · 1,573 vehicles affected
What is wrong
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 no. 209, "seat belt assemblies."
Risk
In the event of a vehicle collision, unbelted occupants are more at risk of injury than those using seat belts.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the seat belts for proper front seat belt retractor position. Retractors found to be improperly positioned will be reinstalled correctly.
