In the event of a vehicle collision, unbelted occupants are more at risk of injury than those using seat belts.

Seat Belts — Front — Retractor

Summary
These vehicles were manufactured with seat belt retractors out of design position which can cause the retractor to lock-up on slopes less severe than the FMVSS requirement. This does not comply with FMVSS no. 209, "seat belt assemblies."
Actions
Dealers will inspect the seat belts for proper front seat belt retractor position. Retractors found to be improperly positioned will be reinstalled correctly.
