What NHTSA recorded

Note: driver's side (left) passive seat belt assembly. The rail of the automatic shoulder belt can wear sufficiently such that the cable which retracts the buckle assembly will become jammed in the rail rendering the shoulder belt inoperative.

Possible consequence

In the event of a vehicle crash, the occupant would not be adequately restrained increasing the risk of personal injury.

Remedy

Dealers will replace driver side and inoperative passenger side shoulder belt track assemblies.
