What NHTSA recorded

The lap belt may disengage from the retractor assembly when it is subjected to severe loads, such as a frontal accident, due to interference by two seat frame bolts. Consequence of defect: seat belt failure during an accident causes the occupant to be unrestrained which could result in a severe or fatal injury.

Remedy

Install 1.5 inch long spacer between tether bar and seat belt anchoring plate.
