Recall 86V-117: 1984–1985 Chevrolet P20, 1984–1985 Chevrolet P30 and 1 more
GENERAL MOTORS CORP. recall for seats, reported to NHTSA on Aug 25, 1986, covering about 46 vehicles.
The problem
Three bolts which attach the sill that supports the base of the seat were omitted; therefore vehicles do not comply with FMVSS 210 and FMVSS 207. Consequence of defect: in the event of a crash, the floor plate could buckle along the inboard side causing the seat pedestal to be imbalanced, and increasing the likelihood of injury to the seat occupant.
The fix
Install missing bolts.
Notes
System: seat attaching bolts/FMVSS 207 and 210. Vehicle description: light duty trucks equipped with union city king steelbodies and driver/passenger bucket seats with a tilt pedestal.
