On certain trucks, the non-locking retractor seat belts may loosen during normal vehicle operating conditions. The free end of the seat belt may creep back into the retractor without warning, allowing undesirable occupant movement during a sudden vehicle maneuver, and possible personal injury. Correction: Non-locking retractor will be replaced with an automatic locking retractor. Note: This recall supersedes recall 198588.
