NHTSA recall 94V100000
Seat Belts · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The second row, right hand shoulder belt can become "pinched" between the seat and the door frame pillar trim. The shoulder belt may not retract properly, which does not comply with the requirements of fmvss no. 208, "occupant crash protection." The 1994 vehicles have an optional integral (built in) childseat installed next to the power sliding side door. The 1993 involved vehicles have standard seats in that same…
Why it matters: Improper shoulder belt retraction does not provide adequate protection to the seat occupant in the event of a sudden stop or collision.
The fix: Dealers will replace the door frame pillar trim panel with a redesigned trim panel. Also, a caution label will be applied to the child seat advising the owner not to install the seat to the passenger side of a vehicle with a power sliding side door.
