## What is wrong

THE REAR OUTBOARD SEAT BELT D\-RINGS ARE RIVETED TO METAL STRAPS WHICH ARE BOLTED THE THE C\-PILLAR STRUCTURE. SOME OF THESE RIVETS WERE NOT PROPERLY HEAT TREATED AND MAY FRACTURE UNDER LOAD AND FAIL TO HOLD THE D\-RINGS TO THE STRAPS. IF THE RIVETS WERE TO SEPARATE DURING A CRASH, THERE WOULD BE ADDITIONAL SLACK IN THE BELT SYSTEM AND THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE OCCUPANT MOVEMENT WHILE BEING RESTRAINED BE THE BELTS.

CORRECTION: BOTH REAR OUTBOARD RESTRAINTS WILL BE INSPECTED AND, IF REQUIRED, A REINFORCEMENT PLATE WILL BE INSTALLED ON THE AFFECTED SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY.
