What NHTSA recorded

The left or right front safety belt assembly may have been installed on the incorrect side of the vehicle. The shoulder belt locking mechanism may not function under rapid deceleration. Under hard braking applications or in a collision, the shoulder portion of the seat belt system may fail to properly restrain the passenger. There is increased risk of injury to passengers who may contact other objects under these circumstances.

Remedy

Seat belts will be inspected for proper installation and, if necessary, seat belts will be either replaced or relocated in correct position. Work will be completed without charge to owners.
