What can happen

Safety consequence

THE SEAT BELTS LOOSEN AS TRUCK IS DRIVEN. THE NON LOCKING RETRACTOR TAKES UP ANY BELT SLACK, GIVING FALSE IMPRESSION THAT THE BELT IS STILL TIGHT. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: THE DEFECT CAN INCREASE THE POSSIBILITY OF INJURY TO THE BELT WEARER IN EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH.

What fixes it

Official remedy

REPLACE INBOARD DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELT HALVES WITH LONGER BELTS THAT ASSURE PROPER LOCKING ANGLE BETWEEN BELT WEBBING AND BUCKLE.
