Recall 1998059

The issue

IN CERTAIN TYPES OF FRONTAL CRASHES, THE FRONT SEAT BELT MAY SLIP BETWEEN THE SEAT BOTTOM FINISHER AND THE SEAT BACK PLASTIC RECLINER HANDLE WHERE IT MIGHT BE CUT BY THE SHARP EDGE OF THE METAL PORTION OF THE RECLINER LEVER. IF THE SEAT BELT IS COMPLETELY SEVERED, IT COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY TO AN OCCUPANT IN A CRASH. CORRECTION: THE PLASTIC RECLINER HANDLE AT THE END OF THE SEAT BACK RECLINING LEVER FOR EACH FRONT SEAT WILL BE REPLACED WITH ONE OF A DIFFERENT SHAPE WHICH PREVENTS THE SEAT BELT FROM SLIPPING BETWEEN THE HANDLE AND THE SEAT.

Description (français)

Lors de certaines collisions frontales, il se peut que la ceinture de sécurité avant glisse entre la garniture de finition inférieure du siège et la poignée de réglage en plastique du dossier inclinable et que l’arête coupante de la partie métallique du levier coupe la ceinture. Si la ceinture est complètement coupée, les risques de blessure à l’occupant seront beaucoup plus grands.Correction : La poignée en plastique qui commande le réglage du dossier inclinable devra être remplacée par un dispositif de forme différente qui empêche la ceinture de glisser entre la poignée et le siège.
