## Other bulletins for the same vehicles and component

- [SSM 46102](/bulletins/10109079.md), 2017-08-01, Service bulletin: SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR; SEAT BELTS. Some vehicles may have a concern where the safety belt retractor webbing does not extract from the stowed position or exhibits excessive pressure on the occupant during use. This may be due to a normal condition which happens when the seatbelt retracts at a high rate of speed. The Workshop Manual, Section 501\-20A General Procedures has been updated with a locked seatbelt retractor releasing procedure.
