The problem
Liquid spilled in the console area can penetrate to the housing of the electronic control unit for the front seat automatic seat belts. Liquid contamination of the electronic control unit can cause failure of the unit signal needed to activate the movement of the motorized safety belt anchorage.
The risk
The motorized safety belt anchorages may not moveproperly, resulting in lack of safety belt protection for seat occupants of thefront seat, and increasing the risk of injury in the event of a sudden stop oraccident.
The fix
Install a protective cover to the electronic control unit of the automatic safety belt system.
