The part that holds your seat belt buckle in place on your right-hand drive Jeep Wrangler is a strap attached to the seat frame. In some 2011-2018 models, this strap can break and come loose.
Risk if Unfixed
If the strap breaks, your seat belt won't work properly, which could lead to serious injury in a crash. You could be thrown around the cabin or ejected from the vehicle.
Free Fix
Your Jeep dealer will replace the faulty seat belt buckle strap with a new one, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice from FCA.
