Recall history

1 distinct campaigns affect this selection. Announcement dates below are different from vehicle model years. A campaign may cover multiple years.

92V183000 · Seats

Reported: 1992-12-17 (December 17, 1992)

THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT OUTBOARD OCCUPANT SEAT HAVE BEEN DESIGNED WITH THE SAFETY BELT ANCHORAGE ON THE SEAT STRUCTURE. IT IS POSSIBLE, IN A VEHICLE CRASH, THAT THE SEAT STRUCTURE WOULD FAIL TO WITHSTAND THE FORCES WITHIN THE LIMITS SET FORTH IN FMVSS 207 AND FMVSS 210.

Consequence: THE SEATING AND SAFETY BELT SYSTEMS FAIL TO COMPLY WITHTHE SAFETY STANDARDS OF FMVSS 207 AND 210, AND COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURYTO OCCUPANTS IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH OR SUDDEN STOP.

Remedy: RELOCATE THE SEAT BELT ANCHORAGE ASSEMBLIES FROM THE SEAT PEDESTAL ASSEMBLY TO THE VEHICLE FRAME THROUGH THE FLOOR STRUCTURE TO REDUCE THE LOAD ON THE SEAT PEDESTAL ASSEMBLY IN THE EVENT OF A SUDDEN STOP OR ACCIDENT.

Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.

Equal-age model-year comparison

Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
