Calspan Corporation developed improvements to the belt systems and compartment of a 1979 Plymouth Horizon and 1981 Plymouth Reliant. The improvements significantly reduced all injury measures to levels well within the FMVSS 208 criteria when these cars were subjected to the same test conditions as the previous crash tests.
