Description of the problem | The rear, middle seat belt locked while the seat was down, tensioning the belt beyond the point where the seat can be used. The belt cannot be loosened enough to allow the seat back to be lifted into the upright position and obviously cannot be used to restrain a passenger. Tension had to be released from the bottom securing bracket in order to lift the seat back so that a passenger can sit in the window seat. At that point the seat belt was locked with the seat up and the middle seat belt cannot be released to be used. |
