What Happened
The seat belt buckle in your Wrangler is like a anchor that attaches your seat belt to the car. In some 2011-2018 models, the strap that holds it in place might break and come loose.
Risk if Unfixed
If the strap breaks, your seat belt won't work properly, which means you could get hurt in a collision because you won't be restrained by the seat belt.
Free Fix
Your Jeep dealer will replace the faulty seat belt buckle with a new one, at no cost to you. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
