How it is said to have ended
- says it held for a while1
- says it came back1
- result not stated1
A ribbon is as wide as the records that state both of its ends (only the commonest are drawn). A record that names several symptoms or components runs through each. Orange is records that say the fault came back or was not fixed. Results come from owners’ reports only; one that does not say is “result not stated”. None of this is a likelihood of a cause or a rate at which work succeeds.

Repair
- If debris is seen, try to vacuum it out, then latch and unlatch the belt; if it works properly, do not replace the buckle assembly.
- If not corrected, inspect the buckle for sticky residue; if found, the buckle assembly must be replaced at the customer's expense.
Caution
