From Times Wire Reports
General Motors Corp. recalled 341,000 sport utility vehicles to replace a driver seat belt buckle assembly.
The recall covers model year 1997 Chevrolet Blazer, GMC Jimmy and Oldsmobile Bravada SUVs. About 313,000 are in the United States; an additional 19,000 are in Canada.
The buckle design includes an “energy-absorbing” loop with stitching that expands too much in certain rollover accidents, reducing driver restraint, a company spokesman said in Detroit.
