Corvette V8-5.7L VIN G (1997)
Seat Belt Retractor: Recalls
Recall 97V104000: Seat Belt Retractor replacement
The seat belts in these vehicles incorporate an energy management loop. This loop is inadequate to absorb the necessary forces that can be exerted on it.
Therefore, the vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of FMVSS No. 208, "Occupant Crash Protection." In the event of a vehicle crash, the energy
management loop will not absorb enough energy, and injury to the seat occupant can occur. Dealers will replace the driver and passenger side seat belt
retractor assemblies.
Owner Notification: Owner notification will begin during July 1997.
Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time
should contact Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020. Also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at
1-800-424-9393.
