The problem
On certain passenger vehicles, if the front seat belt retractors (both driver and front passenger) become locked, they May not release due to a component of the emergency locking system. If the seat belt is locked in this condition, the occupant May not be able to properly fasten the seat belt.
The risk
An occupant not properly wearing a seat belt May have an increased risk of injury during a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the front seat belt assemblies. The recall began on April 21, 2006. Owners May contact Lexus at 1-800-255-3987.
