Tl*the contact owns a 2000 honda civic. The contact stated that the drivers side seat belt was unable to retract and would pop out of place, causing the SRS light to illuminate. When the SRS light was illuminated it deactivated the air bag system. The failure could potentially cause injury during a crash. The dealer advised the contact have the seat belt buckle replaced since there was a lifetime warranty.
