THIS DEFECT IS LIMITED TO VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH INDIANA MILLS AUTOMATIC LOCKING RETRACTOR SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY WITH THE KOMFORT-LOK FEATURE AND INSTALLED ON THE BOSTROM SUSPENSION SEATS. THE BELT ASSEMBLY MAY GO INTO A NON-LOCK MODE IF THE SEAT CUSHION PRESSES AGAINST THE RETRACTOR NECK WITH A PRESSURE SUFFICIENT TO CAUSE THE KOMFORT-LOCK FEATURE TO OVER-RIDE THE FREE MOVEMENT OF THE RETRACTOR CLUTCH. THIS WOULD RESULT IN THE SEAT BELT BEING INEFFECTIVE IN THE EVENT OF A SUDDEN STOP OR VEHICLE CRASH. CORRECTION: A SPACER KIT WILL BE INSTALLED BETWEEN THE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR AND THE MOUNTING ON THE SEAT.
