What are the defects?
A pivot pin inside the twin buckle assembly for the right-hand rear and centre rear seatbelts may not have been assembled correctly and may slide sideways.
What are the hazards?
Should the pivot pin slide sufficiently, the right-hand rear or centre rear seatbelt buckles may detach from their anchor plate. This may render the affected seatbelt unable to restrain an occupant, posing an increased risk of injury during a crash event.
What should consumers do?
Holden will write to all affected customers to notify them of required action.
