Service bulletin TSB-18-52A-001

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

This TSB instructs dealers how to replace the front seat belt and reclining adjusting lever (driver and/or passenger side) with a countermeasure part, to prevent fraying of the seat belt should it get caught under the lever, on affected vehicles.
