I doubt the story is true.. But if it was true, it would be another example of how our legal system is so screwed up. Manufacturers seem to be always in a catch 22 situation. If the person would start the car without the seatbelt and run into a wall or another car, the driver would be able to sue the car company for not making the wearing of the seatbelt a requirement for starting the car. They always seem to be in a "damned if you don't, damned if you do" situation.
