    Summary: Excess lubrication can cause the rubber door latch switch cover to deform, and the door latch switch to malfunction, so that the shoulder belt anchorage would remain at the A-pillar when the door was closed.

  • SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE Recall for 1993 Dodge Colt

    • Recall Announced MAY 12 1997
    • NHTSA Reference #97V073002
    • Number Affected 24,000

    Summary: The guide rail on the driver's side contains a covered cable and also an angled belt guide at the top end of the webbing. The combination of these factors can lead, over time, to the cable's movement exerting abrading force to the lower edges of the cable's chamber, sufficient to cause the cable to drop out of the chamber with the shoulder belt anchorage becoming stuck.

    Consequence: In the event of a crash, the seat occupant may not be properly restrained.

    Fix: Dealers will install a new replacement guide rail that incorporates a double lip dust seal and an anodic oxide coating.
