The shoulder portion of driver and front passenger side seat belts binds in top bezel. When this happens the belts do not properly restrain the driver and/or front seat passenger increasing the risk of personal injury in an accident. Jams happen occasionally and i have been able to clear them with manual manipulation of strap webbing at the bezel. However, repair is required to assure continued safe operation. *tr
