Filing in context

For scale, 1,560 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 4 months.
Defect
A manufacturing defect in internal components of the seat belt retractor for the driver and front passenger seats causes the gear sensor end of the lock mechanism to interfere with the guide holder, preventing the seat belt from being withdrawn. As a result, the belt cannot be fastened and the occupant cannot be restrained.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the driver and front passenger seat belts with corrected parts.
