NHTSA (USA)High Risk
At a glance
What can fail
The driver's seat belt buckle contains an energy-absorbing loop that deploys during severe crashes, adding extra webbing to the belt system. During multiple rollovers, the belt buckle may allow webbing to shift between lap and shoulder portions.
What the fix does
Dealers will replace the energy-absorbing seat belt assemblies with buckles that do not have the energy-absorbing loop.
