Defect
The driver's seat belt buckle (tongue receptacle) was manufactured using an improper process for the internal seat. When fastening the belt, the tongue may not seat correctly, preventing the locking mechanism from operating normally. If a load is applied during a collision or similar event, the belt may release and fail to restrain the occupant.
Corrective action
Replace the driver's seat belt buckle with a conforming part on all vehicles.
