What is being recalled

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE MOLDING FLASH ON THE PRIMARY LEVER MAY PREVENT THE OPERATION OF THE G-LOCK AND TILT LOCK FUNCTIONS ON SOME OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE RETRACTORS.

Why it is dangerous

IF THIS OCCURS IN A FRONTAL CRASH SITUATION, DRIVER PROTECTION FROM THE SEAT BELT MAY BE REDUCED, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY.

The fix (free at any franchised dealer)

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE LEFT FRONT RETRACTOR ASSEMBLIES.

Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 00V-033 when calling a dealer.
