This is caused by the seat belt, seat belt guide and seat belt anchor (A) accumulating dust and dirt from hands and/or from the outside when driving with the top down. An increase in friction makes the seat belt retraction difficult. Keeping the seat belts clean will prevent this from happening.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10189817-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10189817-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10189817","components":[{"id":"seat-belts","name":"Seat belts","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"MAZDA","model":"MX-5","year_from":2016,"year_to":2021,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2016_mazda_mx-5","2017_mazda_mx-5","2018_mazda_mx-5","2019_mazda_mx-5","2020_mazda_mx-5","2021_mazda_mx-5"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
