Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1107590 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | July 18, 2001 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Daihatsu |
| Component | Seat Belt |
| Production period | June 21, 2001 — June 29, 2001 |
| Vehicles affected | 34 units |
Defect
The mounting nuts used to attach the intermediate guide anchor brackets for the driver and front passenger seat belts were manufactured with a thread pitch that does not match the mounting bolts. As a result, the joint between bolt and nut does not engage correctly. If an extreme load is applied to the belt during a collision, the bolt may pull free from the vehicle body, causing the seat belt to fail to restrain the occupant.
Corrective action
Inspect the mounting nuts on all vehicles. If a nut with an incorrect thread pitch is found, replace it with the correct nut and install a new bolt.
