NHTSA recall 03V050000
Seat Belts · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: On certain vans with a gross vehicle weight of less than 8,500 pounds, during a vehicle crash sufficient enough to deploy the safety belt pretensioner, the front safety belt buckles may not release after the vehicle crash, or alternately may eject the safety belt latch during the vehicle crash.
Why it matters: This could result in increased risk of personal injury.
The fix: Dealers will replace the front driver and passenger side safety belt buckle. Owner notification began June 3, 2003.
