What NHTSA recorded

The guide rail on the driver's side contains a covered cable and also an angled belt guide at the top end of the webbing. The combination of these factors can lead, over time, to the cable's movement exerting abrading force to the lower edges of the cable's chamber, sufficient to cause the cable to drop out of the chamber with the shoulder belt anchorage becoming stuck.

Possible consequence

In the event of a crash, the seat occupant may not be properly restrained.

Remedy

Dealers will install a new replacement guide rail that incorporates a double lip dust seal and an anodic oxide coating.
