Known issues on the 1989 240SX. One recall is on federal record for this model year, covering the front seat belt buckle assembly: the red plastic release buttons marked "PRESS" can break, and broken pieces can fall into the buckle assembly and cause it to operate improperly, so the belt may not adequately protect an occupant in a crash. Owners have filed 40 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind that system are here.

Whether you're inspecting the front seat belt buckles or working through a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1989 240SX.
