Component | SEAT BELTS |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Rear seat belt housings broken, rear seat center location where two housings are co-located. One of the two housings does not latch the belt clip rendering this seat location useless as the occupant will not have a working seat belt. Using a caliper the housing in one area looks to measure at 40/1000 of an inch thick. Look at attached photos for damage and method on how damage occurs. When the short seat is dropped and the two seat buckles are now located over under the longer seat back. They are exposed to a metal bracket inside the longer seat back that is very close to the surface of the seat fabric. As the longer seat is dropped the metal bracket located under the surface of the fabric in the seat in my opinion comes in contact with the buckles and has caused this damage. This damage has effected the seat belts functioning correctly. |
