Recall - Passenger Rear Seat Belt Anchor Non-Compliance
F/CMVSS Noncompliance - Passenger - Side Rear Safety Belt Anchorage Compliance
# 04056 - (Aug 23, 2004)
04056 - Passenger Side Rear Safety Belt Anchorage Compliance
2004 Chevrolet Cavalier
2004 Pontiac Sunfire
Condition
General Motors has decided that certain 2004 model year Chevrolet Cavalier and Pontiac Sunfire vehicles fail to conform to Federal/Canada Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard 209, Seat Belt Assemblies, and Standard 210, Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages. On some of these vehicles, the passenger side
rear safety belt may have been installed with an incorrect nut and bolt. In a severe crash, the upper seat bolt anchorage may separate. The effectiveness of
the seat belt could then be reduced and the occupant could receive greater injuries.
Correction
Dealers are to inspect the safety belt anchorage, and if necessary, install a new nut and bolt.

Involved are certain 2004 model year Chevrolet Cavalier and Pontiac Sunfire vehicles built within the VIN breakpoints shown.
Important

above breakpoints may be involved.]
