What is wrong
The safety belt retractors for the rear center position are missing a pawl spring and in case of an accident, will allow the safety belt webbing to extend beyond the minimum requirements of fmvss no. 208, "occupant crash protection."
The risk
In the event of an accident the safety belt would notrestrain the occupant, subjecting the occupant to increased risk of injuries.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the safety belt retractor assembly and replace the retractor if the pawl spring is missing.
