The issue
On certain vehicles, the driver's and/or passenger's front outboard seat-belt webbing could separate during a frontal impact having at least the same dynamics as a 48 kph frontal barrier collision. If a separation occurred and there were secondary crash events or rollover, there would be no restraint of the occupant and increased injuries could occur. Correction: A protector cover will be installed over the recliner mechanism.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, la sangle des ceintures de sécurité des sièges du conducteur et du passager avant peuvent se détacher lors d’un impact frontal ayant la même force dynamique qu’une collision frontale contre barrière fixe à 48 km/h. Si la sangle se détache et que le véhicule est impliqué dans une collision secondaire ou se renverse, il se peut que les occupants de ces positions ne soient plus retenus et que les risques de blessure augmentent. Correction : Un couvercle de protection devra être installé sur le mécanisme d’inclinaison.
