Defect

The front seat belt retractor is manufactured using an improper method for the locking mechanism, allowing the press-fit joint to loosen. A loose press-fit joint may produce abnormal noise or cause the belt to catch during fastening and unfastening. Continued use in this condition can cause the press-fit component to separate entirely and, in the worst case, the seat belt lock will fail to engage in a collision.

Corrective action

Inspect the seat belts on all vehicles. Where the press-fit joint is not loose, install a loosening-prevention part inside the retractor. Where the press-fit joint is found loose, replace the seat belt assembly with a conforming unit.
