What Happened

Risk if Unfixed
If you're in a car accident, the buckle could fail and your seat belt might not restrain you properly. This increases the risk of serious injury or even a life-threatening accident.
Free Fix
Your dealer will check the buckle assembly's date code and replace it if necessary, all for free. You should schedule the inspection as soon as possible to ensure your safety on the road.
