VEHICLES CONCERNED

SYMPTOM DESCRIPTION

When customers take off the front seat belt they complain that the seat belt retracts slowly.

ACTION

To solve this issue, please follow the actions below.

The most probable cause for this is dirt in the D-Ring which causes the seat belt not to retract properly.


1. Remove the dirt from the D-Ring/seat belt by using P/N 8293474(Plastic scraper) or something similar (see picture below) be careful not to damage the seat belt and webbing.


2. Pull out the full length of the seat belt then use a compressed air gun to clean the D- Ring area and seat belt.


3. Clean the belt itself


4. Check function of the seat belt and return to customer.
