## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the second row seat side trim shield may restrict the upward rotation of the safety belt buckle when the seat back is returned to a seating position after being folded flat.  If the buckle contacts the seat frame, additional effort is required to return the seat to a seating position.  If sufficient force is applied, the buckle cover could be pushed down the strap, exposing and partially depressing the red release button.  As a result, the release button will not travel as much as designed when depressed and will appear to be jammed.  The buckle cover may have visible damage which may only be cosmetic, but in some cases, the buckle may not latch/unlatch, or may appear to latch when the latch mechanism is not fully engaged.  If the latch mechanism is not fully engaged, the safety belt may not restrain the occupant as intended in a crash, which could result in personal injury or death.  Correction: Dealers will modify the second row seat side trim shields, inspect the belt buckle and will replace it if damaged.
