Seat belts

What is wrong: The motorized shoulder belt can travel slowly or chatter in the track and may eventually stop tracking and become inoperative.
Risk: Slowing, chattering, or failure of the motorized shoulderbelt may discourage use of the restraint system, increasing the risk of injuryin the event of a sudden stop or accident.
Remedy: Dealers will lubricate the track assembly and, if any systems are found inoperative, the system will be repaired or replaced, as required.
