Response from Momo...........

[Jeff-00-ACR]

Jeff,

Unfortunately Momo is not involved directly with your harnesses. You will be contacted by Chrysler corporation with the official recall notification, or you can contact your local dealer. We suggest you do not use the harnesses until you have them replaced with the revised version.

Thank you,

OK, can we get the official version of the corrective action? I have club members ready to go to track events that cannot. It appears that MOMO will not be directly replacing the belts. Will Dodge be replacing them? Can my members get some advance notice on how to get the replacements? I want to send MORE information to my region, but I'd like to know more than JUST the fact that the recall exists...

Anyone? Anyone? Let's get an official word on the corective action and spread the word CORRECTLY....

Thanks...

Here's what I got off of an SCCA website:

Subject: FW: Momo Belt Warning

>> To: Sports Car Club of America MOMO Automotive has determined that a defect exists in certain of itsracing harnesses which causes the harnesses to be unsafe. These harnesses, which bear the MOMO Corse or MOMO name (and in the case of certain Dodge Vipers only, the label "ACR") have labels on the lap strap referring to one or more of the following certification numbers: "FIA B-143.T/98," "FIA C-154.T/98," "FIA D-153.T98," "FIA D-142.T/98," "SFI" or "SFI 16.1." Only MOMO harnesses marked as FIA or SFI certified are involved.

>> USE OF THESE HARNESSES SHOULD CEASE IMMEDIATELY

We are attempting to reach purchasers of these harnesses directly but would appreciate it if you would contact your membership with this information as soon as possible and instruct your marshals to check for these harnesses and to prevent them from being used in any races. If you have any other methods or can suggest any other means of notifying drivers
of this please contact Darick Schmitt of MOMO Automotive at (800)
749-MOMO, or [email protected].

Thank you for your assistance.

OK - I have SEEN all the MOMO stuff, the SCCA websire, the press release from DC, and now the response from MOMO that started this thread. It does not appear that contacting MOMO will get them the right belts.

WHAT'S THE CORRECTIVE ACTION? Or, in other words, how are my members going to get safe belts? I'd like to get a jump on this so that the folks that are planning on going to a ViperDays event or other track event can have the proper equipment.

Thanks.
