What is wrong
THE INVOLVED VEHICLES WERE MANUFACTURED WITH A SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY OF THE INCORRECT LENGTH. AS A RESULT, THEY DO NOT CONFORM WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 209, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES". A LONGER BELT ASSEMBLY IS REQUIRED TO FIT SOME ADULT MALES IN ALL SEAT ADJUSTMENT POSITIONS.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE EXISTING SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY WITH A LONGER SEAT BELT WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.

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.
