U.S. Stepping Up Investigation: Federal engineers are stepping up an investigation of reported seat belt failures in 1984 and 1985 Ford Mustang automobiles, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced. The NTSB said it had upgraded the probe from a preliminary evaluation--an examination of paper work--to an engineering analysis, in which engineers will study the possibly defective parts. The agency said there had been 21 complaints of plastic components in the seat belt buckles breaking, preventing the belt from being able to be latched.
