Known issues on the 1990 Beretta. Two recalls appear on the federal record, both about belts. In one, the front shoulder belt retractors can lose sensitivity in their locking mechanism and fail to catch during a sudden deceleration, leaving an occupant restrained only by the lap portion. In the other, rear center belt information was left out of the owner literature, putting the car outside the federal belt standard. Complaints number 50, weighted toward the electrical system at 11, then seat belts at 7 and service brakes at 6.
