On certain passenger vehicles, the driver's side seat belt contacted the seat recliner during a 35 mph ncap full-frontal barrier impact test.
リスク: The edge of the recliner mechanism caused a partial cut in the lap portion of the webbing. If the webbing is cut, it increases the risk of injury in a crash.
対策: Dealers will install an insert behind the driver side seat lower trim panel. Owner notification began june 21, 2002.
