Details

Certain vehicles do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 209 - Seat Belt Assemblies.

The push button release effort for the front outboard seat belts exceeds the maximum of 14 kilograms (30 pounds).

After a crash, the higher release efforts could make it more difficult for an occupant to release the belt and exit the vehicle.

Correction: Dealer will add "snap on" latch clips to eliminate the potential of inverted latch plate insertion.

Dealers will inspect the seat belts and, if necessary, modify the latch plates with a special tool or replace the retractor.
