The risk

Consequence of non-compliance: if an incorrect part IS used, the belt may not latch properly, increasing the risk of injury to the occupant should a vehicle crash occur.

The remedy

Dealers will inspect all front and rear safety belt latch ends and safety belt buckles for correct parts and replace any incorrect parts.
