MEDIA RELEASE
24 June 2005 For Immediate Release URGENT NOTICE - SAFETY HARNESS FAILURE - FIA D-203/T98 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.
Cheers, Rorty.
