Seat belts Vehicle recall #01V124000 · 2001 · 1,016 vehicles
What's wrong: Mislabeled seat belts intended for 2-door model vehicles were installed in the 4-door front passenger seat belt location. For the passenger seat safety belt, if the child seat mode has been engaged or the belt is extended during normal use and then retracted, the belt cannot be extended again and is unusable. The reset function to normal emergency mode does not work because the 2-door belt webbing is shorter.
Why it matters: In a crash, an unbelted occupant could receive severe injuries.
The fix: Dealers will inspect and replace incorrect seat belt assemblies. Owner notification began May 3, 2001.
