What the notice says today
The defect
The middle belt lock on the rear seat may unintentionally unlock due to contact with the adjacent belt lock. (Dutch: De middelste gordelsluiting op de achterbank kan door contact met de naastgelegen gordelsluiting mogelijk onbedoeld ontgrendelen.)
The consequence
Unintentional unlocking of the seat belt may result in reduced protection of passengers in the event of an accident. (Dutch: Het onbedoeld ontgrendelen van de veiligheidsgordel kan leiden tot verminderde bescherming van inzittenden bij een ongeval.)
What will be done
The vehicle owner is asked to contact a brand dealer who will assemble a part to prevent the seat belts from flowing into each other. (Dutch: De voertuigeigenaar wordt verzocht contact op te nemen met een merkdealer. Deze monteert een onderdeel om te voorkomen dat de gordelsluitingen elkaar be�nvloeden.)
