2001 National Van S34 recall: seat belt

⚠️ What's wrong

One S34 converted wheelchair van equipped with passenger seat belts with retractors, the cover halves for the retractable portion of the belt CAN separate completely and release the seat belt connector. If this occurs, one of the load bearing pins in the connector could separate from the connector and render the seat belt unusable. In the event of a crash, the seat occupant would not be properly restrained resulting in an injury. The seat belt supplier, amsafe, will provide a snap on "over-cover" to owners to prevent the seat belt cover from separating.
