What is wrong
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. Some of these vehicles were built with rear seat shoulder belts that could twist, allowing the webbing to be jammed in the retractor. When the shoulder belt webbing becomes jammed in the retractor, the seat belt becomes unusable.
The risk
This could prevent a person from using the seat belt system, and a risk of injury to an unbelted person in a crash would be increased.
The fix
Dealers will remove any twists from the rear shoulder belt(s) and install clips to the belt web guide to prevent twisting.
