Condition
Some owners may report the seat belt webbing may become twisted or binds when trying to draw or retract the seat belt assembly.
Cause
The belt webbing passes through a "D" ring attached to the door pillar anchor plate. As the anchor plate pivots, the seat belt webbing may overlap on
itself creating a bind or twist condition in the inner diameter of the "D" ring assembly.
Correction
Install a new seat belt retractor assembly following the Service Manual procedure in Section 10A2. The new retractor assembly incorporates a new "D"
ring design that resists belt web twisting.
Important:
In 1994 models, replacement seat belt colors may differ slightly from the originals due to different color tones used in 1995 models.
