What could happen
During a crash, a seat belt retractor that does not function as intended increases the risk of injury.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the seat belt retractors (including the seat belts) and, if necessary, replace the retractors, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on September 3, 2021.
