Description (français)
Les mécanismes d'enroulement des ceintures des sièges arrière peuvent laisser passer des sangles vrillées. La présence de sangles vrillées entre les bobines d'enroulement et leurs boîtiers peut enpêcher ces mécanismes de fonctionner dans les deux sens (enroulement et déroulement). 1
