Defect

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE REAR SHOULDER BELT(S) DO NOT RETRACT. A RETAINER COULD SEPARATE FROM A REAR SEAT SHOULDER BELT RETRACTOR WHICH RESULTS IN THE RETRACTOR RETURN SPRING BECOMING DISENGAGED.

Consequence

IN A CRASH, AN OCCUPANT MAY RECEIVE MORE SEVERE INJURIES IF THERE IS EXCESSIVE SLACK IN THE SHOULDER BELT.

Remedy

DEALERS WILL INSPECT BOTH REAR SHOULDER BELT RETRACTORS FOR CORRECT FUNCTION AND INSTALL A SPRING COVER RETAINING STRAP TO EACH RETRACTOR. IF A RETRACTOR DOES NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY, IT WILL BE REPLACED.

What owners report

“LEFT FRONT SEAT BELT DOES NOT ALWAYS RETRACT WHEN UNCOUPLED. APPERAS THAT THE RETRACTION SPRING MAY NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH TENSION TO ENABLE THE SEAT BELT TO ALWAYS RETRACT. ALSO, THE SEAT BELT ITSELF TWISTS AND FOLDS DURING RETRACTION WHICH MAY BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO THIS PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM…”
