1990 Seat Belt recall - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Fast36 · 04-14-2020

I found out in 2016 right after I purchased my ZR1 that there was a seat belt recall. The dealership Flemings Ultimate Garage in Rockville MD failed to tell me this. I'm going to make a very long story as short as possible. I've been in contact with GM Executive Customer Service since 2017. I brought my car to Paramus Chevrolet to have the new seat belts supplied by GM installed. They didn't fit. I asked both Paramus Chevrolet and GM who made them. No response. I've reminded GM numerous times that I'm driving a car that I could get injured or killed in if I were in an accident. Does anyone know who made the correct seat belts back in 1991 that satisfied the recall? Do you know if there still in business? I've suggested to GM to have the seat belts removed, sent to the manufacturer of their current supplier, determine which parts failed, have the correct parts made and installed, tested for safety and returned to the dealership and installed in my car. Sounds reasonable? Well GM said they would consider my suggestion. Now if anyone has Torch Red seat belts which will fit my ZR1 please let me know. The caveat is I need the serial number from the car they came out of so I can check to see if the recall was satisfied. Any help is greatly appreciated.
