Details
What's wrong: If the driver or front passenger safety belt is pulled out much faster than normal, a number of time, the lock-up feature of the retractor will not work properly.
Why it matters: In a rapid deceleration or vehicle crash, the occupant would not be properly restrained increasing the risk of personal injury.
The fix: Dealers will replace the driver and front passenger safety belt retractor.
