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."

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.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SHORTER SAFETY BELT WITH A LONGER BELT THAT OFFERS THE PROTECTION SET FORTH IN THE STANDARD.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
