Even when you think you may be safe you never know what might happen. Look at the scandal with Takata air bags. My Honda was recalled over this. I don't have belts in my A and I don't plan to ever have them. The entire Model A is not a safe vehicle in todays terms. I am willing to love it for what it is and take my chances. When I was younger I totalled two different 55 Chevys and walked away. One was a tree, my fault, the other was a Buick, his fault, and I got the check to prove it. I have given up driving 55 Chevys. The A suits me fine.
