## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a post molded into the inside surface of the front safety belt buckle cover may fracture.  The fractured buckle cover post may affect the buckle function and may exhibit either "no latch" \- an overt condition as the tongue will not latch into the buckle, or "partial latch" \- likely an overt condition because, although the tongue can be inserted into the buckle and appear to be engaged, it will release from the buckle without the push button being depressed when a relatively low load is applied such as when an occupant moves slightly in the seat.  Correction:  Dealer will replace both front safety belt buckle covers.
