MACK TRUCKS, INCORPORATED recall for seat belts, reported to NHTSA on Jun 25, 1991, covering about 4,000 vehicles.
The problem

The inboard clinch nut in cab sill, where the buckle for the shoulder and lap belt is mounted, pulled out of the sill during the tests. Consequence of defect: if seat belt anchirage fails, the seat occupant faces an increased risk of injury in an accident or sudden stop.
The fix
Relocate the inboard seat belt mounting from top of the sill to the forward flange of the sill on the cab floor, and add a 3mm fillet weld around the 2 inboard clinch nuts.

System: safety belt anchorages; FMVSS 210.vehicle description: heavy trucks.
