Summary:

Belt Assembly Anchorages". |
Consequence: |
In the event of a vehicle
collision, the shoulder belt may not adequately restrain the driver and
the chances of injury would be increased. |

The dealer will repair the
left side shoulder belt retractor mounting bracket on the involved
vehicles free of charge. |
