The issue
On certain trucks, the seatbelt assembly may go into a non-lock mode if the seat cushion presses against the retractor neck with sufficient pressure to cause the komfort-lok feature to over-ride the free movement of the retractor clutch. This would result in the seat belt being ineffective in the event of a sudden stop or a vehicle crash. Correction: A spacer will be insalled between the seat belt reatractor and its mounting on the seat.
