- Notification type: Safety TC

## What is wrong

On certain vehicles that had the driver’s and/or front passenger's seat belt buckle replaced, a switch within the replacement buckle may incorrectly signal that the seat belt is always buckled. In the event of a crash, this may cause the airbag system not work as designed, and could increase the risk of injury to the occupant\(s\). Correction: Dealers will inspect the signal from the seat belt switch and replace the inner seat belt assembly as needed.
