What is wrong
On certain vehicles, the seat belt push button may not release the latch plate after the pretensioner is deployed, or alternately the seat belt latch plate may eject during a crash event with a pretensioner deployment. If an occupant was using the seat belt assembly and the latch plate ejected from the buckle assembly during pretensioner actuation, the seat belt assembly may not provide a desired level of occupant restraint. If an occupant was using the seat belt assembly and the push button became stuck in the buckle assembly during pretensioner actuation, pressing on the seat belt push button would not release the latch plate from the buckle to allow the belted occupant to exit the vehicle. Correction: Dealer will replace the front seat belt buckles.
