Component

Seat Belts:Front:Buckle Assembly

Consequence of Defect

certain sport utility vehicles were built with a driverøs seat belt buckle assembly that contains an energy-absorbing loop. sustained loads of sufficient magnitude and duration on the belt in severe crashes could fully deploy the buckle energy-absorbing loop, introducing a total of 10 additional inches of webbing into the seat belt system. the free falling latch plate used in this system may allow webbing to dynamically distribute between the lap and shoulder belt as the driverøs position changes during a multiple rollover event.
