What’s Wrong
Some vehicles may have an incorrectly assembled front seat belt with the right hand seat belt fitted on the left hand side or vice versa. This could cause the seat belt upper anchorage to be used at an incorrect angle; making it difficult for the customer to apply the seatbelt or slowing the retraction speed when removing the belt. In an extreme case the front seat belt may not restrain the front seat passenger.
