I went thru this with GM about 9 years ago on my 90 when one of mine crapped out.
The local dealer was useless. Suprise? Got ahold of someone at GM who admitted they were still responsible because it’s a safety item. After screwing around with them for months, all they could come up with was belts of the wrong color. No go... So, after much searching, I located some NOS belts of the right color at a Chevy dealer in Missouri, but the nice folks at GM said they couldn’t use them because they weren’t in their custody. I guess a GM dealer doesn’t count?
Bottom line, do yourself a favor, don’t lose any sleep and if they crap out, just buy some used ones, they’re easy to find and cheap!
Who really cares about an open recall on a 30 year old car? Even NCRS doesn’t care.
FWIW, I went thru this recall in 1990 with my one year old 89. The dealer got the parts and replaced them. They screwed it up, no surprise! The mechanic bolted the seat back into the car on top of the belt! MORON! I removed the seat from the car and remedied the problem myself and haven’t returned since.
