Official summary

This is a Technical Service Bulletin sent to dealers. Customers may report the front seat belt fraying as a result of being caught under the seat reclining adjusting lever. This TSB instructs dealers how to replace the front seat belt and reclining adjusting lever (driver and/or passenger side) with a countermeasure part, to prevent fraying of the seat belt should it get caught under the lever, on affected vehicles.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
