I own a 1989 mazda rx 7. I recently saw a recall on the ford recall web site for nhtsa campaign # 96v173000, front webbing for rx's manufactured between 12/24/88 to 05/31/91. I have this particular problem on my seats. I contacted a local dealer and was told that my rx was not in the group for the recall. The dealer did this by vin # , [xxx] , and stated my car did not fall in the recall. The dealer provided a print out showing my rx was manufactured, 01/10/89. I feel that the problem is within the range of the recall, my vehicle is an rx7, and manufactured in the range of the recall. I am requesting help in resolving this problem. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(b)(6). *tr updated 07/08/11.*jb
