What This Recall Means

Component

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR

What Happened
Your vehicle's front seat belts have a mechanism called a torsion bar that helps control the belt's length. Unfortunately, this part might have been damaged during production in your 2025 model.
Risk if Unfixed
If the torsion bar fails in a crash, your seat belt might not work properly, putting you at risk of serious injury. This could happen even if the air bag deploys.
