## Discrepancy

(CAN) SEAT BELT LOOPS THAT SECURE THE FRONT SEAT LAP BELTS TO THE SEAT FAILED.  THIS ALLOWED THE SEAT BELT, WHILE BEING SECURED, TO LOOP OVER THE SEAT BACK ADJUSTMENT LEVER.  WHEN THE PILOT ADJUSTED HIS SEAT PRIOR TO TAXI, THE SEAT BACK ADJUST LEVER WAS ACTIVATED AND THE SEAT BACK RECLINED TO ITS FULL BACK POSITION. (TC NR 20070814009)
