What NHTSA recorded

There may be an insufficient permanent lubrication in the buckle/release mechanism of the type 2 seat belt assemblies. This may cause front seat occupants to have difficulty in fully fastening seat belts, although they may seem to be fully fastened.

Remedy

A special wax lubricant will be sprayed into the buckle receptacle slot to remedy defect and prevent reoccurance. This will be done without charge to owner.
