Details

What's wrong: A defective crimp connector in a belt tensioner wiring plug may lead to increased electrical resistance of that connection.

Why it matters: Increased electrical resistance in that circuit could cause the safety belt tensioner to fail to deploy in a crash, possibly resulting in increased injury to the seat occupant.

The fix: The safety belt tensioner wiring will be repaired free of charge. The recall began on September 5, 2009.
