Details

What's wrong: The affected vehicles have front seat seatbelt pretensioners that may not function properly in the event of a crash.

Why it matters: If the front seat seatbelt pretensioners do not function properly, the seat occupants may not be adequately restrained in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix: Dvusa will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front seat belts, free of charge. An interim notification was mailed to owners on June 9, 2017. A second notice was mailed on July 7, 2017, to tell owners that the remedy is now available.
