  Seat belts › Rear/other
  Covers: Chevrolet Blazer 1991, GMC Jimmy 1991, Oldsmobile Bravada 1991

If the cover moves far enough, it can create an interference condition with the latch release button. When it does, the seat belt buckle cannot be latched.

  Possible consequence: The rear belts may not hold an occupant in the event of a vehicle accident increasing the risk of pesonal injury.

  Remedy: Dealers will replace the three rear-seat belt buckles (one assembly) with a new, revised design.
