- Filed Apr 28, 2024Failure Mar 1, 2024Miami Springs, FLSeat belts
Seatbelts are installed on vehicles “twisted” and may cause the belt to not lay flat across the body. This may cause injury in the event of an accident, as weight would not be distributed evenly across the fabric. LOTUS corporate claims installation in this manner is intentional or correct.
