Defect/Vehicle Involved
DEFECT INVOLVEDThe National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in cooperation with General Motors, has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in some 1989-91 GEO Metro & Tracker and 1990-91 GEO Storm model vehicles.
Some of these vehicles may exhibit a condition in which the driver and/or passenger front seat belt buckle release button may be chipped or cracked. If this were to occur, it could interfere with the proper operation of latching mechanism. These buckle malfunctions could prevent a person from using the seat belt system, and risk of injury to an unbelted person in an accident would be increased.
To correct this condition, all involved vehicles will have the release button with spring replaced and have a new buckle housing cover installed. Also, any buckle assemblies which are found not to function correctly will be replaced.
Buckle assemblies which are found not to function correctly in the future no matter when will also be repaired.
VEHICLES INVOLVED
Involved are certain 1989-91 GEO Metro & Tracker and 1990-91 GEO Storm model vehicles built within the VIN breakpoints as shown.
Involved vehicles have been identified by Vehicle Identification Number Computer Listings. Computer listings contain the complete Vehicle Identification Number, owner name and address data, and are furnished to involved dealers with the campaign bulletin. Owner name and address data furnished will enable dealers to follow up with owners involved in this campaign.
These listings may contain owner names and addresses obtained from State Motor Vehicle Registration Records. The use of such motor vehicle registration data for any other purpose is a violation of law in several states. Accordingly, you are urged to limit the use of this listing to the follow up necessary to complete this campaign. Any dealer not receiving a computer listing with the campaign bulletin has no involved vehicles currently assigned.
