Details
What's wrong: Certain passenger vehicles contain driver and front passenger lap and/or shoulder belt retractors that may not remain locked up as designed during a crash in which the belt pretensioners deploy.
Why it matters: In such a crash, this could result in an increase in injury for that occupant.
The fix: Dealers will install a retainer kit in the driver and passenger safety belt pretensioner. Owner notification began January 31, 2003.
