Defect Involved

General Motors has decided that certain 1997 Buick Park Avenue/Ultra model vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorage". These vehicles may have been assembled with center rear seat belt anchor bolts not properly installed. In the event of a vehicle crash, the seat belt system may not withstand the required load and injury to the seat occupant could occur.

To prevent the possibility of this condition occurring, and in order to comply with FMVSS 210, dealers will tighten the center rear seat belt anchor bolts to specification.
