1996 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER — Complaint #77041

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about CHILD SEAT:HARNESS BUCKLE:INFANT filed May 27, 1997

NHTSA complaint #77041 (ODI reference 603314) concerns a 1996 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER and was filed on May 27, 1997. The owner reports the failure occurred on January 1, 1996. The report was geocoded to Arkansas based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as child seat:harness buckle:infant, 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. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.

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 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER cohort independently describe similar child seat:harness buckle:infant 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 1996 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
