What NHTSA recorded

The metal housing of the safety belt retractors on automatic locking retractor/emergency locking retractor safety belts can become deformed preventing extension and/or retraction of the belt.

Possible consequence

Passengers would be unable to extend or retract their safety belts and would be at a risk of injury in the event of an accident.

Remedy

Dealers will install a hardened washer which will decrease the possibility of deformation of the safety belt retractor. Damaged retractors will be replaced.
