   Seat Belts

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   General motors is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 chevrolet traverse, buick enclave, GMC acadia, and saturn outlook vehicles. The second row seat side trim shield restricts the upward rotation of the safety belt buckle when the seat back is returned to a seating position after being folded flat. If the buckle contacts the seat frame, additional effort is required to return the seat to a seating position. If sufficient force is applied, the buckle cover could be pushed down the strap, exposing and partially depressing the red release button.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   The safety belt may not restrain the occupant as intended during a crash, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record
