Details

What's wrong: The front seat belt buckles were not properly riveted to the support strap.

Why it matters: In the event of a vehicle crash, the seat belt assembly would have reduced strength, increasing the risk of personal injury.

The fix: Dealers will replace the front outer seat belt buckles with buckles that have been properly riveted.
