FEBRUARY 16
2000

135,475 vehicles recalled

1999 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE -- Vehicle description: Passenger vehicles. Some of these vehicles were built with rear seat shoulder belts that could twist, allowing the webbing to be jammed in the retractor. When the shoulder belt webbing becomes jammed in the retractor, the seat belt becomes unusable.
