What is wrong
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES. MISLABELED SEAT BELTS INTENDED FOR 2-DOOR MODEL VEHICLES WERE INSTALLED IN THE 4-DOOR FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT LOCATION. FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT SAFETY BELT, IF THE CHILD SEAT MODE HAS BEEN ENGAGED OR THE BELT IS EXTENDED DURING NORMAL USE AND THEN RETRACTED, THE BELT CANNOT BE EXTENDED AGAIN AND IS UNUSABLE. THE RESET FUNCTION TO NORMAL EMERGENCY MODE DOES NOT WORK BECAUSE THE 2-DOOR BELT WEBBING IS SHORTER.
What can happen
IN A CRASH, AN UNBELTED OCCUPANT COULD RECEIVE SEVERE INJURIES.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
