Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Problem: i have a 1990 chevy corvette and the safety belt on the drives side of car has "lockup or jammed" in the safety belt retractor. consequence summary: if lockup occurs, it is impossible to pull belt out of the retractor. the occupant of a seat with an unusable safety belt is subject to increased risk of injury or death in the event of a sudden stop or accident. corrective summary: replace the safety belts if the lockup occurs. campaign number: 91v143000 date: 1991-sep-04 component: seat belts: front: anchorage campaign number: 91v143000 date: 1991-sep-04 component: seat belts: front: anchorage. i when to chevorlet in wilkes barre, pa and they told me my car was not part of the recall and would not fix the defective safety belt retractor free of charge. i understand, (correct me if i am wrong) than the manufacturer must replace it free of charge as it is a defective safety device on the vehicle. i find it odd that there was a recall of this part, but my car was not part of the recall. that was $154 plus labor to replace the safety belt retractor. *jb
