The official notice
Defect
On certain vehicles, the Automatic Tensioning System (ATS) cable of the seatbelt retractors could fail. Should this occur, the webbing spooled out by the user would not retract. If the spool cable were to break while the belt is being worn, the belt would function normally in a crash. It would then be obvious to the occupant that the belt needs repair as soon as possible.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the driver's seatbelt retractor.
