SEATBELT RECALL

(From the December 93 issue of British Car Magazine) 

MAHWAH, NJ - We've recently been notified by John Retkowski, Recall Coordinator 
for Jaguar
Cars Inc. that certain 1977-1980 MG Midgets, MGBs, TR7s and TR8s may have 
defective Kangoi
seatbelts. According to Retkowski, who is doing the recall on Kangoi's behalf, 
the inertia reel-type
belts do not retract on some cars, or are stuck and can not be extended. In 
either case, they should be
replaced for new, safe belts. 

The VIN numbers for affected Midgets are from 191159 to 229526; for If you 
believe that your
seatbelts are defective, contact John Retkowski at Jaguar Cars Inc, 555 
MacArthur Blvd, Mahwah,
NJ 07430-2327. Include your VIN number. Your car may be qualified for a new set 
of belts. 

The original notice was issued by the seatbelt manufacturer in 1985 and was 
sent, at that time, to all
the owners of record for the affected cars. That likely missed many second 
owners where the
vehicles had changed hands.
