What is wrong
Vehicle description: passenger mini-vans. Covers on the solid stalk mounted seat belt buckles can become dislodged causing the release button to stick inside the cover. The buckle would then be only partially latched.
The risk
In the event of a vehicle crash, the occupant may not be properly restrained increasing the risk of personal injury.
The fix
Dealers will install a cover retaining clip to the stalk mounted buckle cover to prevent dislocation of the buckle cover.
