NHTSA recall 05V558000
Seat Belts · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: On certain full-size passenger, cargo, or cutaway vans, the front and rear seat belt buckles will not latch or will not unlatch.
Why it matters: In the event of a crash, a seat occupant may not be properly restrained increasing the risk of personal injury.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the buckles and, if found to be inoperative, the entire buckle assembly would be replaced. For buckles found to be operative, dealer will replace only the upper buckle cover. The recall will be conducted in phases. The first phase mailing began during March 2006.
