Seat belts: front: retractor
- What is wrong
- These vehicles were manufactured with seat belt retractors out of design position which can cause the retractor to lock-up on slopes less severe than the fmvss requirement. This does not comply with fmvss no. 209, "seat belt assemblies."
- Risk
- In the event of a vehicle collision, unbelted occupants are more at risk of injury than those using seat belts.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect the seat belts for proper front seat belt retractor position. Retractors found to be improperly positioned will be reinstalled correctly.
