The 1998 Dodge Viper has 2 recalls, both centered on the optional 5-point racing seat belt harness available on ACR and GT2 trim vehicles, which may not hold up under crash loads and could fail to restrain the occupant.
The harness does not meet the voluntary load specifications set by the FIA, meaning that in a crash, the belt system may give way and leave the driver or passenger without adequate restraint. This recall only affects vehicles equipped with the racing option package.
