Details

What's wrong: Certain sport utility vehicles may have been built with a incorrectly built seat belt buckle mountings.

Why it matters: When the rear left hand second row seat belt is used, the buckle may not be fully retained. A seat occupant may not be properly restrained increasing the risk of personal injury.

The fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the second row left hand seat belt buckle free of charge. The recall began November 2, 2005.
