Details

What's wrong: The outboard safety belt webbing on the driver's and/or passenger's seat can separate during a frontal impact.

Why it matters: If a separation occurred and there were secondary crash events or vehicle rollover, there would be no belt restraint of the occupant and increased injuries could occur.

The fix: Dealers will install a protective cover over the recliner mechanism.
