Reported risk: The vehicle sensitive locking mechanism for the front seatbelts may be incorrect causing either the belt not to lock or the webbing very difficult to pull out. If the locking mechanism does not function during a collision it will not restrain the wearer as per design intent and increase the risk of injury. Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the seat belts on both front seats and if necessary replaced.
