The problem
Widespread lack of understanding about the operation of webbing sensitive and dual sensitive seat belts has lead to non-use of belts by a number of owners. Some belts retractors may jam, bind or lock. This may discourage the use of the safety belts. Consequence of defect: non-use of seat belts subjects occupants to risk of injury in event of an accident or sudden braking.
The fix
Instructins on proper belt usage and simple checks will be sent to owners and will replace any malfunctioning retractor.
