SAFETY BELT CINCHING LATCH PLATE Defect Investigation for the 2003 Stratus
Vehicle Component: Seat Belts
Summary: There are no injuries or fatalities associated with this alleged defect. While conducting this investigation, ODI found that the subject cinches meet the load bearing requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208, and that many of the reported failures were due to incorrect child safety seat installations. Additionally, the report rate is low (1.60/100K). The information available fails to establish the existence of a defect trend at this time. Further allocation of Agency resources to this issue is unwarranted and the preliminary evaluation is being closed.
