Component:

Seat belts:front:buckle assembly

Affected:

30,000

Defect:

The press button in the buckle assembly is longer due to worn tooling that stamps or punches the metal parts. the longer button causes the latch which holds the tongue to depress and not make full contact with the tongue.

Consequence:

As a result of the above the surface of the latch isshortened and, therefore does not have maximum surface area with the tongue.this combination of buckle and latch may cause the buckle to release with lesspull than required by fmvss 209 and result in damage or personal injury.

Correction:

Inspect and repair seat belt by installing the proper seat belt buckle.

Notes:
