What NHTSA recorded
The involved vehicles do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 209, "seat belt assemblies". The knurl bar in the buckle does not adequately hold the webbing in place under load.
Remedy
Seat belts will be inspected and, if necessary, a v-shaped metal insert of 16 gauge steel will be fitted over the buckle webbing guide and welded to the inside buckle frame.
