Details

What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles, the passive restraint system may not function correctly. Inconsistent electrical operation of the automatic track assembly has been experienced.

Why it matters: If the passive restraint system experiences an electrical or mechanical failure, the seat occupant would not be fully protected.

The fix: Dealers will replace all the main components of the passive seat belt system. This includes the electronic control units, the retractor mechanism, and both the right and left motor driven track assemblies. Owner notification began April 24, 2003.
