The vehicle (where a record says)

A record is under an engine, a drive or a series only where it says so: the characters of the vehicle identification number filed with a complaint, its text, or what its document says it applies to. A record that does not say is kept as "not stated". The filed numbers and the documents do not tell 4WD from AWD.

Common on this vehicle:Seat beltAir bag did not deployWarning lightNoiseReduced brakingGauge or instrument faultTyre failure (blowout, tread separation)Vibration or shudder

Record by record

32 records state a cause or a remedy. Each record is shown as short labels in the order fault → finding the cause → correction. Press a label to narrow to the records that state it.

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.

    Remedy
    All applicable vehicle applications are without Electronic Accessory Control System option. This communication is to return unsold inventory because some product sold in 2016 may not have coil harness wound in a centered condition as an assembly aid. If installer does not center the rotations of the assembly during replacement process in accordance with applicable AllData service and repair procedure, post-install turning of the steering wheel will trigger the air bag warning light of the vehicle.

    Technical Bulletin 05-09-40-002F Notification

    1. 1Fault

      • Overspool lock: if the webbing snaps back to the stowed position rapidly enough, the retractor locks with the belt fully stowed.
      • Vehicle-sensing lock occurs when the vehicle changes speed or direction abruptly: rapid acceleration, rapid deceleration or aggressive cornering.
      • It can also occur with the vehicle static, parked on a large slant, fore-aft or side-to-side.
      • Web-sensing lock: when the webbing reels out at an accelerated rate it goes into lock mode and stays there until tension is released.
      • Pulling the webbing all the way out automatically converts the retractor into a cinch-down mode (ALR), typically used to secure a child seat tightly.
    2. 2Finding the cause

      Possible causes

      • With the webbing fully loaded on the spool the retractor cannot rewind further to release the locking mechanism, so the occupant cannot extract the belt.
    3. 3Correction

      Repair

      1. Pull hard on the locked webbing and then release; the hard pull extracts a small amount of webbing, which permits a small amount of retraction when released.
      2. The ALR mode is cancelled automatically when the belt is unfastened and stowed.

      Caution

      • Do not replace the retractor for this condition before first trying to disengage the locking mechanism as recommended.
      • A belt that the customer says locks intermittently in these conditions is working as designed and functioning properly.

    1. 1Fault

      • Seat belt buckles do not operate and/or the seat belt warning light is on; the buckle is hard to latch or unlatch, or the release button sticks.
    2. 2Finding the cause

      Possible causes

      • Sticky beverages spilled onto or into the buckle assembly; debris from food, candy wrappers, paper and coins can also contribute.

      Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)

      • Shine a light on the latch plate insertion area of the buckle and look for debris or foreign objects.
    3. 3Correction

      Repair

      1. 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.
      2. If not corrected, inspect the buckle for sticky residue; if found, the buckle assembly must be replaced at the customer's expense.

      Caution

      • Never insert anything but the latch plate into the buckle, do not dig anything out with a tool, and never wash out a buckle to remove a spilled liquid because this may damage it.
      • This is not a manufacturing defect and is not covered by the new vehicle warranty.

    2nd Row Centre Seat Belt Routing Recall

    1. 1Fault

    2. 2Finding the cause

    3. 3Correction

      Not stated

    Read the sentences of the record
    Cause
    On certain vehicles, the 2nd row centre occupant seat belt routing may make it difficult to position the lap portion of the safety belt low around the hips of occupants. A lap portion of the seat belt routing that is not low and snug on the hips can allow unfavourable occupant kinetics in the event of a crash. Moreover, the higher routing allows the lap belt to ride up on an occupant's abdomen instead of fitting low around their hipbones, and therefore, can expose them to more risk of abdominal and internal organ injury. Correction: Dealers will modify the guide loop.

    Seat Belt Retractor Sensor Inoperative Recall

    1. 1Fault

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Certain vehicles fail to conform to CMVSS 209, seat belt assemblies. These vehicles have a condition where one or two sensors in the driver's and front seat passengers seat belt retractors may be inoperative. The seat belt retractors will lock when the belt webbing is extracted during a crash; however the mechanism that locks the seat belt retractor when the vehicle decelerates quickly, such as during heavy braking, may not restrain the occupant as intended during a crash, and could result in injury to the occupant. Correction update: None required as no effect on vehicle safety. See recall 04-158.

    2nd and 3rd Row Outboard Seat Belt Retractor Crack

    1. 1Fault

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Certain vehicles have an internal component in the 2nd and 3rd row outboard seat belt retractor that could be cracked. With repeated actuation of the locking mechanism, the crack could spread to the point where the seat belt would no longer lock. In a crash, increased occupant injury could result from the no-lock condition. Correction: Dealers will inspect the outboard seat belts for specific lot numbers and replace the belts if necessary.
