The series 4 cars (86-88) didn't have mouse belts or the recall.

If the retractor is sticking it is dirty or broken. Replace or clean. Be careful cleaning however, as you don't want anything to soak into the belt itself and weaken it and the spring tension for the retractor is pretty incredible if you try an dis-assemble.
