The problem
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The molding flash on the primary lever May prevent the operation of the g-lock and tilt lock functions on some of the driver's side retractors.
The risk
If this occurs in a frontal crash situation, driver protection from the seat belt May be reduced, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Dealers will replace the left front retractor assemblies.
