Issue
NHTSA says the driver seat-belt emergency locking retractor may lock, causing the belt strap not to extend.
Risk
A seat-belt strap that does not extend can fail to restrain an occupant in a crash, increasing injury risk.
Repair
Dealers replace the seat-belt assembly, free of charge.
Buyer decision
What to do before money changes hands.
The VIN is open before delivery
Ask for the repair before handoff.
SC372 repair order with the exact VIN.
The belt will not extend smoothly
