AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- The Chrysler Group is recalling 615 1999-2001
Dodge Viper ACR and GT-2 Commemorative Editions vehicles equipped
with optional equipment 5-point racing seat belt harness. The harnes-
ses may not meet the voluntary load specifications set forth by the
FIA (Federation Internationale DE L'Automobile), which oversees rac-
ing safety. The recall does not affect the three-point seat belt sys-
tem that is standard on all Dodge Vipers, including all ACR and GT-2
models. Dodge Viper ACRs and GT-2s are the only Viper models factory
-equipped with this 5-point harness, which is installed for racing
use only. ACR and GT-2 owners are urged not to race their vehicles
until replacement harnesses are installed. The standard seat belt
system should be used for all on-road driving. There have been no
accidents or injuries involving these harnesses. The harnesses in-
clude the lettering "ACR" or "ORECA" on the shoulder straps and are
supplied to the Chrysler Group by Lakeland, Fla.-based Breed Tech-
nologies, Inc. through its wholly owned subsidiary, MOMO, S.r.l, a
manufacturer and distributor of automotive products. MOMO purchases
the harness directly from the manufacturer, LRF Racing SNC di F
Radaelli & Co. This harness is also sold to the after-market racing
community. Dodge Viper ACR and GT-2 owners will be notified by mail.
