1991 CHEVROLET CORVETTE — Complaint #717330

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE filed April 22, 2009

NHTSA complaint #717330 (ODI reference 10266401) concerns a 1991 CHEVROLET CORVETTE and was filed on April 22, 2009. The owner reports the failure occurred on April 22, 2009. The vehicle had 107,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Iowa based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as seat belts:front:anchorage, 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 CHEVROLET CORVETTE cohort independently describe similar seat belts:front:anchorage 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 1991 CHEVROLET CORVETTE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
