File date | 01/03/97 |
Component | SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Front lap/shoulder belts will not retract fully when disengaged. The retractor is not strong enough to pull the webbing through the d-ring mounted on the b-pillar. Consequently, the slack in the webbing sometimes gets caught in the door jamb when exiting the vehicle. The strength of the webbing is diminished as it frays. The dealer service representative informs me that the retractor spring is too weak but toyota has no plans on a repair kit. The safety belt would be replaced with the like w/in the five year warranty period. *ak |
