My 1999 Corvette seat belt retractor quit working 2 days ago. My wife was unable to fasten the seat belt after several tries. I removed both retractors to inspect and could find no visible damage. There car is in showroom condition. I did an internet search for info and found a recall campaign : NHTSA campaign I'd number 00V111000 Apr 6 2000. I called my Chevy dealer [xxx] and they said a recall had been done in 2000 for a plastic part to stop belt twisting and no further recall would be honored. But this is not the problem! the ratcheting mechanism is faulty. I need this fixed asap from the defective seat belt mechanism. This results in a vehicle I now cannot legally and safely drive. Please help. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
