Seat Belt Locked up on 87

Subject: Seat Belt Locked up on 87
by lunytnz on 2019/4/28 6:16:26

Today, the seat belt locked up on my 87.
I was using the cinch button and when I unbuckled, I noticed the seat belt didn't retract all the way back, like it usually does. When I did get it to retract, I couldn't pull the seat belt back out!

I had to drive home with no seat belt.

I called the dealer because I remembered something about seat belts years ago... maybe a recall. The dealer looked up my VIN and said, "Nope", no recalls for seat belts for your vehicle.

I went to the NHTSA site and did a search for my VIN. No luck, as the GM lookup couldn't even find my car :-(
I did a more generic search for 87 Corvettes and found 3 recalls. https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/1987/CHEVROLET/CORVETTE#recalls
Sure enough, there is a recall for seat belts! Interior Systems: Active Seat and Shoulder Belts
NHTSA Campaign 91V143000 It's from 1991: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/1991/RC-91V143-NN.PDF

There are 60+ pages of info (some duplicated), but on page 4, it says dealers are to service all vehicles (1984-1991 Corvettes) subject to this campaign at no charge to owners, regardless of mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership, from this time forward.

I plan to call the dealer, again, next week and we'll see what happens!
