The 1994 Pontiac Transport has 2 recalls, both involving seatbelt defects that could leave passengers unprotected in a crash or unable to buckle up properly.
The more serious issue affects the second-row centre seat, where the lap belt retractor may be missing an internal spring that causes it to lock during a sudden stop. Without that spring engaging, the belt cannot hold the occupant in place during hard braking or a collision. The other recall affects the third-row seatbelts, which can lock up even on a gentle slope, making it difficult or impossible for passengers to pull out and fasten their belts before the trip begins.
