What is wrong
Safety belts are designed to be routed under a diagonal cross brace during fastening. The instructional labels for the belt routing are inadequate, and can result in inadvertent release of the belt buckle.
The risk
Consequence of defect: safety belt misuse could cause the seat occupant to face greater risk of injury in a sudden stop or vehicle accident if an inadvertent release of the safety belt occurred.
The fix
Install labels to instruct the user in proper safety belt routing; also replace safety belt buckles.
Notes from the manufacturer
System: safety belts for auxiliary seats.vehicle description: station wagons.
