qualified technician to verify that the “automatic locking retractor”
feature for child seats is still functioning properly, in addition to other
checks for proper seat belt system function.

BELT AND RETRACTOR ASSEMBLY MUST BE REPLACED if
the seat belt assembly “automatic locking retractor” feature or

any other seat belt function is not operating properly. In addition, all
seat belts should be checked for proper function.

Failure to replace the belt and retractor assembly could increase
the risk of injury in collisions.
