Tiara Motor Coach Division: Seat Belts › Front
Tiara Motor Coach Division reported this defect to federal regulators on Oct 26, 1994 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 2,419. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
THE SAFETY BELT LENGTH DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS TO FIT A 95TH PERCENTILE DUMMY IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT POSITION IF THE SEAT IS IN FULL FORWARD POSITION. THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 208, "OCCUPANT CRASH PROTECTION."
The risk
CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE: LARGE PERSONS IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT WOULD BE EXPOSED TO INCREASED RISK OF INJURY IN A SUDDEN STOP OR CRASH.
The remedy
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SHORTER SAFETY BELT WITH A LONGER BELT THAT OFFERS THE PROTECTION SET FORTH IN THE STANDARD.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 94V207000.
