THE SEAT BELT BRACKET AND SEAT PEDESTAL ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES DO NOT CONFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 207, "SEATING SYSTEMS", AND NO. 210, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY ANCHORAGES". THE COMBINED ASSEMBLY OF THE 5193 SEAT BELT BRACKET AND THE 5298 SEAT PEDESTAL ARE UNABLE TO WITHSTAND THE TEST LOADS SPECIFIED IN THE STANDARDS.

Manufacturer remedy
