There is conflict between the dealership and manufacture concerning what part in the passive restraint system should be replaced under the recall. *nm the passenger side shoulder belt is stuck in the middle of the rail thus making it inoperative. The driver's shoulder belt is stuck in the rear of the rail and is also inoperative.
