My vehicle failed massachusetts seat belt test. They dont lock when pulled on quickly. I have removed and inspected them and it appears to me that the mechanism itself is not capable of passing this test I am believing that the test has been implemented after the manufacture of this particular design of seat belt, and am asking if this vehicle has been grandfathered for this test there are intertia weights in them that will lock them in a collision, and I have tested this in a wide open parking lot by slamming on the brakes and they do lock but my inspection station is unwilling to recognize this I wish to know what I need to do to get a passing inspection sticker on my vehicle is there a recall for and updated design of seat belt ? I find it hard to believe that both existing seat belts in the vehicle are "bad" will the NHTSA assist me, please ? thank you.
