## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, sustained loads of sufficient magnitude and duration on the seat belt in severe crashes could fully deploy the buckle energy\-absorbing loop, introducing a total of 10 additional inches of webbing into the seat belt system.  The free falling latch plate used in this system may allow webbing to dynamically distribute between the lap and shoulder belt as the driver's position changes during a multiple rollover event.  If the energy\-absorbing loop fully deploys in a severe multiple rollover event, it is possible that a belted driver may experience partial or even complete ejection from the vehicle.  Correction: Dealer will replace the driver's safety belt buckle assembly.
