Everyone with safety belt or other safety related problems is urged to call
NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) at 1-800-424-9393 to
report safety defects. You can use the threat of calling NHTSA to get
repairs done on your truck. And, even if they do the repairs, call anyway.
As a result of a safety belt recall in the mid 80's, Honda established a
lifetime safety belt warranty which is still in effect.
