"Urgent Notice - *Safety Harness failure - FIA D-203/T98*
CAMS Media Release
24 Jun 2005
CAMS has been notified of a safety harness failure. This failure occurred during a collision. The harness is a 6-point type and was manufactured by "Taiwan Racing Products Company Ltd". It has the FIA homologation number D-203/T98. The FIA have been notified.
At issue is the adjuster buckle of the lap belt which on the information received to date appears to have been assembled incorrectly on some harnesses with this homologation. This harness is apparently supplied under a number of brand names, and it is understood that there are several suppliers in Australia that sell this harness with their own brand name.
It has been confirmed that a number of similar unsold harnesses in stock have also been incorrectly assembled, although not all. It is possible that these same harnesses have been supplied to other retailers in other countries.
CAMS is issuing this notice asking all competition vehicle owners in
Australia to inspect their harnesses. The homologation number appears on a label attached to each strap of the harness. If harnesses with the above homologation number are fitted, CAMS advises that they not be used until they have been returned to the point of sale for inspection.
It is possible that further action may be taken in regard to these
harnesses so please check the CAMS website regularly"
so check your harness and spread the news.
