NOTE:
Please read and circulate these instructions to your Service, Parts and Sales Personnel. They should become familiar with this recall and respond to
owner inquiries.
Vehicles Affected
All 1989 Model Year Thunderbird and Cougar cars.
Reason for Recall
A cable in the comfort regulator mechanism in either the safety belts provided in the kits for Safety Recall "91S32" or the factory installed front safety
belt assemblies may break or bind causing a malfunction in the retractor mechanism. Should this occur, the front safety belts may not retract after full
extension. In this condition the occupant of the vehicle will not be properly restrained if the vehicle is involved in a collision.
Service Action
To correct this condition, replace the existing driver and front passenger safety belt and retractor assemblies (tongue end assemblies only) with the new
design parts and install plug buttons in the comfort regulator plunger holes located in the door openings. The new belt system is the same as that used in
1992 models. Instruct the customer on use of the new belt system and provide the customer the supplemental information (Owner Guide Insert) booklet
contained in the parts kit.
