Summary
The rivets holding the rear outboard belt D-rings were not heat treated properly causing the heads of the rivets to fracture under load and fail to hold the D-rings to the straps. This does not conform to the requirements of FMVSS no. 210, "seat belt assembly anchorages."
Actions
Dealers will install a reinforcement plate on the rear outboard seat belt assembly anchorages involved in this campaign.
