The problem
The safety belt length does not meet the requirements to fit a 95th percentile dummy in the driver's seat position if the seat is in full forward position. This does not comply with the requirements of FMVSS no. 208, "occupant crash protection."
The risk
Consequence of non-compliance: large persons in the driver's seat would be exposed to increased risk of injury in a sudden stop or crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the shorter safety belt with a longer belt that offers the protection set forth in the standard.
