- Campaign number: 2016090

## What is wrong

A heavy impact to the top of a rear seat belt buckle \(high end load\) may result in damage causing the buckle cover to displace downward and/or rotate relative to the latch mechanism.  If a rear seat belt buckle is damaged, the buckle cover may interfere with the normal function of the buckle, which may ultimately prevent the buckle tongue from becoming latched or potentially remaining latched, increasing the risk of injury in a crash or other emergency situations. Correction:  Owners will be provided instructions to inspect their rear passenger seat belt buckles, or alternatively dealers will provide this inspection if customers have questions or concerns. When repair parts become available, owners will be notified to take their vehicle to a dealer to have the rear passenger seat belt buckles repaired or replaced, as required.
