What is wrong
Vehicle description: convertible passenger vehicles. When the convertible top is down and the seat is pushed all the way back, the seat belts may not retract properly resulting in slack in the seat belts.
The risk
This slack can reduce the protective capability and effectiveness of the belts and increases the risk of injury to an occupant in a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the convertible top cover to prevent interference with the seat belt.
