TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1992 JAGUAR SOVEREIGN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT IS AUTOMATIC ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. ONCE SEATED IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT, THE BELT WILL AUTOMATICALLY CLOSE OVER HIS SHOULDER. THE FAILURE IS DUE TO A BELT WINCH ASSEMBLY. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 93V179000 (SEAT BELTS) WAS REFERENCED. THE CONTACT WENT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE SEAT BELT REPAIRED AND THEY STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE AND WOULD TAKE THREE WEEKS TO ARRIVE. IT HAS BEEN LONGER THAN THREE WEEKS AND THE DEALER IS NOT COMMENTING ON WHEN THE SEAT BELT WILL BE REPAIRED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE CONTACT CANNOT DRIVE WITHOUT THE SEAT BELT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,592. UPDATED 10/21/08. *JB
