The problem
The cinch bar component within the passenger side safety belt buckle assembly shatters causing the belt to release.
The risk
The passenger would not be properly restrained and could be injured in the event of a sudden stop or accident.
The fix
Dealers will replace the cinch bar with a newly designed part.
