What is wrong

Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The molding flash on the primary lever may prevent the operation of the g-lock and tilt lock functions on some of the driver's side retractors.

The risk

If this occurs in a frontal crash situation, driver protection from the seat belt may be reduced, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix

Dealers will replace the left front retractor assemblies.
