What NHTSA recorded

Certain vehicles were manufactured with an incorrect rear center seat belt assembly buckle. The misbuild involved fitting a buckle for another market with the correct u.s. Specification seat belt.

Possible consequence

Such installation results in a rear center seat belt assembly in which the belt tongue cannot be inserted into the buckle and a consquent inability of the system to provide proper occupant restraint during panic braking of the vehicle or an accident.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect the rear center seat belt tongue and buckle and incorrect buckle assemblies will be replaced.
