IN CERTAIN TYPES OF FRONTAL CRASHES, THE FRONT SEAT BELT MAY SLIP BETWEEN THE SEAT BOTTOM FINISHER AND THE SEAT BACK PLASTIC RECLINER HANDLE WHERE IT MIGHT BE CUT BY THE SHARP EDGE OF THE METAL PORTION OF THE RECLINER LEVER. IF THE SEAT BELT IS COMPLETELY SEVERED, IT COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY TO AN OCCUPANT IN A CRASH. CORRECTION: THE PLASTIC RECLINER HANDLE AT THE END OF THE SEAT BACK RECLINING LEVER FOR EACH FRONT SEAT WILL BE REPLACED WITH ONE OF A DIFFERENT SHAPE WHICH PREVENTS THE SEAT BELT FROM SLIPPING BETWEEN THE HANDLE AND THE SEAT.
