Seat Belt: All Technical Service Bulletins
Recall 97V211000: Automatic Shoulder Belt Replacement
Vehicle Description: Passenger vehicles equipped with front seat automatic shoulder belts. The rail of the automatic shoulder belt can wear sufficiently
such that the cable which retracts the buckle assembly can become jammed in the rail rendering the shoulder belt inoperative. A seat occupant may not
be properly restrained in the event of a vehicle crash.
Dealers will replace the passive shoulder belt assembly with a modified one (with additional dust lip) in vehicles which have experienced a problem. In
vehicles in which the automatic shoulder belt functions properly, the rails will be inspected and replaced with modified rails if they exceed the inspection
criteria.
Owner notification began March 31, 1998 and will be completed by August 1998.
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 Mazda at 1-800-222-5500. Also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
