Pontiac Recall : Interior Systems:Active Restraints:Belt Retractors

1981 Pontiac Firebird

Seat Belts — Front — Retractor

Summary
On certain vehicles, the seat belt retractors in the rear seating positions contain first lock positions which will not lock when used by smaller passengers. This fails to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 208, "occupant crash protection".
Actions
All owners will be sent a pre-paid postage card that is to be filled out and sent back. The card will indicate whether the seat belts are functioning properly. If dealer inspects seat belts, the seat belt retractors will be replaced, if necessary, without charge.
