Recall 92V057000
Seat Belts › Front › Anchorage — Freightliner · reported 14 Apr 1992 · 1,400 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
A NUMBER OF CABS WERE ASSEMBLED WITH FEWER WELDS THAN SPECIFIED IN THE UPPER B PILLAR NEAR THE ANCHORAGE FOR THE SEAT BELT. WELDING MATERIALS USED ON THE INBOARD ANCHORAGE BRACKET UNDER THE CAB DECK WILL NOT MEET FMVSS NO. 210 LOAD TEST REQUIREMENTS WHEN THREE SEATING POSITIONS ARE PROVIDED.
The risk
SAFETY BELT ANCHORAGE SYSTEMS THAT DO NOT COMPLY TO THELOAD TEST REQUIREMENTS SUBJECT THE SEAT OCCUPANT TO GREATER RISK OF INJURY INTHE EVENT OF A SUDDEN STOP OR ACCIDENT.
The fix
ADD REINFORCEMENT WELDS IN THE UPPER B PILLAR AND ADD FASTENERS TO THE LOWER DECK ANCHORAGE BRACKET.
SYSTEM: SAFETY BELT ANCHORAGES, FMVSS NO. 210.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: HEAVY TRUCKS MANUFACTURED BEFORE FEBRUARY 2, 1992 ANDCABS WITH A CENTER SEATING POSITION BUILT BEFORE MARCH 2, 1992.
