    The force-limiter in the seat belt retractor may not operate as designed

    Defect

    The subject front seat belt assemblies are service parts designed for certain Toyota and Lexus models containing a seat belt retractor with a force-limiter function using a torsion shaft which helps control the loads on the occupant applied by the shoulder belt after the seat belt retractor locks up during a crash. During production the torsion shaft may have been manufactured incorrectly and the seat belt may not operate as designed allowing the seat belt to extend further than intended after locking. This can increase the amount of forward displacement of the occupant increasing the risk of an injury in the event of a crash severe enough to activate a force-limiter.

    Remedy

    To inspect and replace the seat belt assembly if required.
