Details

What's wrong: Certain passenger vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 210, 'seat belt assembly anchorages.' The passenger-side rear safety belt may have been installed with an incorrect nut and bolt.

Why it matters: In a severe crash, the upper seat belt anchorage may separate. The effectiveness of the seat belt could then be reduced and the occupant could receive greater injuries.

The fix: Dealers are to inspect the safety belt anchorage and install a new nut and bolt, if necessary. The recall began on August 23, 2004. Owners should contact Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438 and Pontiac at 1-800-620-7668.
