VEHICLES MAY HAVE MISSING OR INCORRECTLY INSTALLED SEAT BELT ANCHORAGE ATTACHMENTS. A MISSING ATTACHMENT WOULD MOST LIKELY BE DETECTED BY THE OCCUPANT UPON INITIAL USE OF A SEAT BELT. A LOOSE FASTENER (ENGAGED BY ONLY ONE OR TWO THREADS) COULD EVENTUALLY DETACH AND POTENTIALLY RESULT IN LESS THAN THE INTENDED LEVEL OF OCCUPANT RESTRAINT IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH.rnCORRECTION: SEAT BELT ANCHORAGES WILL BE INSPECTED AND REPAIRED AS NECESSARY.
