N182194790 \- Special Coverage. In certain ehicles, if a driver repeatedly sits on the seat belt cable cover located at the base of the driver?s seat when entering the vehicle, it may cause the seat belt pretensioner to bend sharply over the seat side shield. If this continues to occur over an extended period of time, which is very rare, the seat belt pretensioner cable may fatigue and eventually separate, which could reduce the effectiveness of the vehicle?s seat belts. Before any damage occurs to the pretensioner cable itself, signs of wear will be visible on the pretensioner cable cover where it has been repeatedly bent over the seat side shield. This special coverage covers the condition described above for a period of 10 years or 120,000 miles \(193,000 km\), whichever occurs first, from the date the vehicle was originally placed in service, regardless of ownership. Dealers are to inspect and replace the driver seat belt lap anchor pretensioner and replace if necessary. The repairs will be made at no charge to the customer. - [PI0388C](/bulletins/10139028.md), 2018-06-04, Service bulletin: EQUIPMENT; SEAT BELTS:FRONT:WEBBING.
