Safety Recall # 791 -- Child Seat Belt Extensions

^ Effective immediately, this recall (# 791) cancels and supersedes Customer Satisfaction Notification # 721 -- Child Safety Seat Video and Harness Clips.

^ This service requirement applies only to 1996 and 1997 model year Dodge Caravan and Grand Caravan; Plymouth Voyager and Grand Voyager; and Chrysler Town & Country (NS) minivans equipped with integrated child seats (Sales Code -- CYK or CYR).

^ Debris in the latch plate area of the integrated child seats on the above listed vehicles may cause the retractor to remain locked when the buckle is unlatched. A locked retractor could make it difficult to remove a child from the seat. To correct this condition, child seat belt extensions must be installed and a child seat owner manual addendum card provided to the owner. In addition, the latch plate of each child seat must be inspected for proper operation and cleaned if necessary.

^ Dealers are encouraged to consider alternative scheduling and servicing approaches for this recall. This repair does not require hoists or other full service facility special equipment and is a CHRYSLER MOBILE SERVICE approved repair.

Parts Packages:

^ Each involved dealer, to whom vehicles in the recall were invoiced, will receive enough Child Seat Belt Extension Packages to service about 10% of those vehicles.
