Reported risk: ON TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH 3-POINT SEAT BELTS AND BOSTROM SMARTSEATS, ABRADING OF THE SEAT BELT WEBBING MAY OCCUR AT THE D-RING WHEN THE SEAT BELTS ARE NOT WORN. THIS ABRADING IS DUE TO THE UNDER DAMPED RIDE OF THE BOSTROM SMARTSEATS AND A TENDENCY FOR THE WEBBING TO BUNCH-UP AT THE D-RING IF THE D-RING DOES NOT SWIVEL FREELY. ABRADING OF THE SEAT BELT WEBBING CAN REDUCE ITS STRENGTH AND IN A COLLISION SITUATION INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY.
CORRECTION: A STIFFER BOSTROM SMARTSEAT SHOCK ABSORBER AND DIFFERENT D-RING FASTENERS ARE BEING EVALUATED. THE SEAT BELT WEBBING WILL BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED WHERE NECESSARY.
