Defect & Vehicles Involved

DEFECT INVOLVED

General Motors has decided that certain 1989 - 1996 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera and Cutlass Cruiser model vehicles fail to conform to Federal motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorage". These vehicles were assembled with rear outboard seat belt anchorage's that may not withstand the required load. During loading, stress could cause the attachment metal to tear and allow the anchorage to separate from the body.

To prevent the possibility of this condition occurring and in order to comply with FMVSS 210, retailers will replace the existing anchor bolts with a new shoulder bolt and thread locking adhesive. Additionally, noise control patches will be applied at each anchorage.
