THE SEAT BELTS LOOSEN AS TRUCK IS DRIVEN. THE NON LOCKING RETRACTOR TAKES UP ANY BELT SLACK, GIVING FALSE IMPRESSION THAT THE BELT IS STILL TIGHT. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: THE DEFECT CAN INCREASE THE POSSIBILITY OF INJURY TO THE BELT WEARER IN EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH.
Manufacturer remedy
REPLACE INBOARD DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELT HALVES WITH LONGER BELTS THAT ASSURE PROPER LOCKING ANGLE BETWEEN BELT WEBBING AND BUCKLE.
THE FUEL INJECTION PUMP THROTTLE SHAFT BUSHING MAY BE CONTAMINATED WITH A HEAT SENSITIVE LIQUID POLYMER WHICH CAN SOLIDIFY ON THE BUSHING AT NORMAL ENGINE OPERATING TEMPERATURE AND CAUSE THE THROTTLE TO STICK. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: THROTTLE LEVER MAY STICK AND NOT RETURN TO LOW IDLE POSITION AFTER ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS RELEASED. THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND LEAD TO A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
Manufacturer remedy
REPLACE FUEL INJECTION PUMP GOVERNOR HOUSING WITH A NEW HOUSING CONTAINING NEW BUSHINGS FREE OF CONTAMINATION.
