Known issues on the 1989 RX-7. One recall is on federal record for this model year, covering the front automatic shoulder belt webbing: the belt rail can wear enough that the cable retracting the buckle assembly jams inside it, leaving the shoulder belt inoperative and the occupant inadequately restrained in a collision. Owners have filed 32 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind that restraint system are here.
Whether you're inspecting the shoulder belt mechanism or working through a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1989 RX-7.
