The federal safety agency 14v318000 was a recall for seat belts that fails to retract. When I get into my car and pull it out to fasten it often remains slack. That event caused me to do research and find the recall. But it did not extend to my car which has the exact same problem. It appears to me that the recall was too narrow.

Much like the federal safety agency campaign id number: 14v318000 (gm recall number 14222), the driver's seat belt does not retract. This occurs every time the belt is pulled out. In the event of a crash, the belt would not be close enough to the driver to retract, since it is too loose.

Recall 14222/15027. Received safety recall notice to replace driver's side seatbelt mechanism. Upon making service appointment with local gm dealer they stated they do not have a technician to do it. I tried calling the 800 number on the recall notice and got a recording that the number was no longer in service. How can I find out who can perform this recall service?

The driver seat belt internal cable broke. I took it to an authorized dealer. There is a recall. But, the parts are backordered over 10 months. This is a huge safety issue. Nothing I can do. Gm has not provided a date when the parts will be available.

The retractor for the driver side seat belt in my 2005 saab 9-3 aero convertible broke. This defect is already subject of a recall by gm. I am the original owner, but did not receive notice of this recall. I have contacted gm, the local dealer, and parts distributor several times, and was told that the item is on indefinite back order and is unlikely to be available any time in the future. I believe this significantly compromises the safety of the car and is an attempt by gm to avoid the recall and repairing this safety defect. What can be done to make sure gm complies with the recall requirements?
