SOME OF THESE RIVETS WERE NOT PROPERLY HEAT TREATED AND MAY FRACTURE UNDER LOAD AND FAIL TO HOLD THE D-RINGS TO THE STRAPS. IF THE RIVETS WERE TO SEPARATE DURING A CRASH, THERE WOULD BE ADDITIONAL SLACK IN THE BELT SYSTEM AND THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE OCCUPANT MOVEMENT WHILE BEING RESTRAINED BE THE BELTS.rnCORRECTION: BOTH REAR OUTBOARD RESTRAINTS WILL BE INSPECTED AND, IF REQUIRED, A REINFORCEMENT PLATE WILL BE INSTALLED ON THE AFFECTED SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY.
