What is wrong
THE SEAT BELTS LOOSEN AS TRUCK IS DRIVEN. THE NON LOCKING RETRACTOR TAKES UP ANY BELT SLACK, GIVING FALSE IMPRESSION THAT THE BELT IS STILL TIGHT. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: THE DEFECT CAN INCREASE THE POSSIBILITY OF INJURY TO THE BELT WEARER IN EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
REPLACE INBOARD DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELT HALVES WITH LONGER BELTS THAT ASSURE PROPER LOCKING ANGLE BETWEEN BELT WEBBING AND BUCKLE.

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.
