NHTSA Recall 86V052000 — International Harvester Seat Belts › Front › Anchorage

What's wrong

THE SEAT BELTS LOOSEN AS TRUCK IS DRIVEN. THE NON LOCKING RETRACTOR TAKES UP ANY BELT SLACK, GIVING FALSE IMPRESSION THAT THE BELT IS STILL TIGHT. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: THE DEFECT CAN INCREASE THE POSSIBILITY OF INJURY TO THE BELT WEARER IN EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH.

The fix

REPLACE INBOARD DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELT HALVES WITH LONGER BELTS THAT ASSURE PROPER LOCKING ANGLE BETWEEN BELT WEBBING AND BUCKLE.

SYSTEM: SEAT BELTS. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: HEAVY-DUTY TRUCKS BUILT WITH NEW STYLE RETRACTOR TYPE SEAT BELTS WITH SCABBARDS.
