  1. 1992 Buick Century SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE NHTSA Campaign #95V173000

    • Date Announced: SEPTEMBER 15, 1995
    • Vehicles Affected: 2,216,325

    Summary: These vehicles were assembled with rear outboard safety belt anchorages that may not withstand the required load. This does not comply with FMVSS no.210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."

    Consequence: Consequence of non-compliance: In a collison, stress can cause the attachment metal to tear and allow the anchorage to separate from the body of the vehicle. The safety belt may not protect an occupant in the event of a vehicle crash.

    Actions: Dealers will replace the existing anchor bolts with a new shoulder bolt and thread locking adhesive. Additionally, noise control patches will be applied at each anchorage. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #95V173000 »

    • Date Announced: MAY 11, 1992
    • Vehicles Affected: 33

    Summary: The optional remote entry module may have a fault which causes random actuation of interior lamps, door locks, and/or tailgate release. This actuation may occur while the vehicle is in use or unattended.

    Consequence: If the tailgate release actuates, the tailgate will open. Unrestrained passengers in the rear seat area could fall out of the vehiclewhile the car is in motion, and receive serious injuries.

    Actions: Replace the remote entry module with a newly revised module to prevent random actuation. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #92V066000 »
