The issue
On certain trucks, the seatbelt assembly may go into a non-lock mode if the seat cushion presses against the retractor neck with sufficient pressure to cause the komfort-lok feature to over-ride the free movement of the retractor clutch. This would result in the seat belt being ineffective in the event of a sudden stop or a vehicle crash. Correction: A spacer will be insalled between the seat belt reatractor and its mounting on the seat.
Description (français)
Sur certains camions, la ceinture peut passer en mode déverrouillée si le coussin du siège exerce suffisamment de pression sur le dispositif de rappel pour empêcher le Komfort-Lok de bloquer le libre déplacement de l'embrayage du rappel, annulant ainsi la raison d'être des ceintures, en cas d'arrêts brusques ou d'accidents.
