1992 FORD PROBE — Complaint #595487

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about SEAT BELTS:FRONT:WEBBING filed September 8, 2006

NHTSA complaint #595487 (ODI reference 10167705) concerns a 1992 FORD PROBE and was filed on September 8, 2006. The owner reports the failure occurred on September 7, 2006. The vehicle had 111,528 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Ohio based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as seat belts:front:webbing, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same FORD PROBE cohort independently describe similar seat belts:front:webbing failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 1992 FORD PROBE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
