Product Details

Product name Chevrolet and GMC Child Car Seats
Description Chevrolet and GMC ML model vans equipped with integral dual child safety seats, 1996-1998 models. 
Problem Some of these vehicles may be missing a seat belt retractor clutch spring and/or pawl spring in the child seat. If the clutch spring were missing from the retractor, the seat belt would lock in the retract position and could not be used. If the pawl were missing from the retractor, the seat belt restraint would continually play out and would not lock. This could increase the occupant's risk of injury in the event of a vehicle crash. These seats fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213, "Child Restraint Systems."
