Note: this investigation has resulted in
a vehicle safety recall. In its letter dated March 5, 1999, general motors stated that it will recall 136,300 model year 1994 and 1995 Saturn vehicle (all models) built between January 1994 and August 1994. During this period, Saturn's seat supplier manufactured recliner assemblies which were out of design specification, allowing the front seat backs to recline or collapse inadvertently. To correct the problem, Saturn dealers will replace the driver and front passenger seat back recliner assemblies. See NHTSA's safety recall fill 99v-045 for details. |
