Early C4's were subjected to a seatbelt recall (#91V-143) whereby Chevy dealers replaced the OEM seatbelts due to a well documented defect. This well know federally mandated recall was completed at the dealership at no cost to the Corvette owner.
When having my car judged at both the regional and national level, the NCRS Master Judges knew about the recall and commented positively with no point deductions about my replacement seatbelts being date-coded several years after the car's build date.
Recently, I have noticed that NCRS judges are deducting points for the non-original replacement seatbelts. Should NCRS judges be deducting judging points for standard equipment replaced due to a Federally mandated recall ? What is, or should be, the Club's standard practice on such matters ?
Any direction from Roy Sinor, Allen Tremain or Tom Barr will be appreciated.
Thanks.
