What is wrong
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The automatic seat belt slider can become jammed when the slider tape separates from the take-up reel, illuminating the seat belt warning light. Should such a condition occur, the belt must be positioned and fastened manually by connecting the belt to the fixed anchor point.
The risk
The occupant may not realize that the seat belt can be operated manually, and does not use the restraint system, increasing the risk of personal injury in the event of a vehicle crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the complete passive restraint seat belt system.
