“Have experienced multiple failures of the safety harness latching mechanism on left and center individual bucket seats in the middle row (immediately behind driver). The center seat failure was recorded with the center seat moved to the left side position. The failure mode is that the 3-point harness on the left side of the vehicle will release unexpectedly when the occupant shifts position in the seat. The unxpected release occurs when pressure is exerted outward on the harness against the release button on the receiver portion of the harness (section bolted to the seat). …”
