Details

What's wrong: The rear shoulder belt(s) do not retract. A retainer could separate from a rear seat shoulder belt retractor which results in the retractor return spring becoming disengaged.

Why it matters: In a crash, an occupant may receive more severe injuries if there is excessive slack in the shoulder belt.

The fix: Dealers will inspect both rear shoulder belt retractors for correct function and install a spring cover retaining strap to each retractor. If a retractor does not function correctly, it will be replaced.
