Known issues on the 1991 Eldorado. One recall is on federal record for this model year, covering the front outer shoulder belt: the webbing’s sew stop can become stuck in the retractor, making the belt difficult to pull out and, for some occupants, impossible to fasten, raising the risk of injury in a crash. Owners have filed 13 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind that system are here.
Whether you’re inspecting the front seat belt retractors or working through a routine service interval on the 4.9L V8, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1991 Eldorado.
THE FRONT OUTER SHOULDER BELT WEB SEW STOP CAN BECOME STUCK IN THE RETRACTOR. THE BELT CAN BE DIFFICULT TO PULL OUT OF THE RETRACTOR AND SOME OCCUPANTS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FASTEN THE BELT.
