Seat belts: front: buckle assemblyReported January 30, 1990 · 62,000 vehicles affected

What is wrong: Under certain conditions, front seat center, fold-down arm rest may contact the safety belt buckle, causing damage to the release button and preventing the belt tongue from latching when buckling up.
Risk: Occupant would not be properly restrained and could be injured in the event of a sudden stop or accident.
Remedy: Replace front seat safety belt buckles with shorter version that will not contact the armrests. Note: owner notification date; 2/90 is prepared in draft form.
