The defect

The risk
Consequence of defect: safety belt misuse could cause the seat occupant to face greater risk of injury in a sudden stop or vehicle accident if an inadvertent release of the safety belt occurred.
The remedy
Install labels to instruct the user in proper safety belt routing; also replace safety belt buckles.
