## What is wrong

ON TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH 3\-POINT SEAT BELTS AND BOSTROM SMARTSEATS, ABRADING OF THE SEAT BELT WEBBING MAY OCCUR AT THE D\-RING WHEN THE SEAT BELTS ARE NOT WORN. THIS ABRADING IS DUE TO THE UNDER DAMPED RIDE OF THE BOSTROM SMARTSEATS AND A TENDENCY FOR THE WEBBING TO BUNCH\-UP AT THE D\-RING IF THE D\-RING DOES NOT SWIVEL FREELY. ABRADING OF THE SEAT BELT WEBBING CAN REDUCE ITS STRENGTH AND IN A COLLISION SITUATION INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY.

CORRECTION: A STIFFER BOSTROM SMARTSEAT SHOCK ABSORBER AND DIFFERENT D\-RING FASTENERS ARE BEING EVALUATED. THE SEAT BELT WEBBING WILL BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED WHERE NECESSARY.
