The hazard

Seat belts installed at certain seating positions may not have an adjustment range that is sufficient to restrain a 5th percentile adult female, contrary to the requirements of the standard. This would increase the potential for injury to certain seat occupants in a crash. Correction: Dealers will install replacement shorter-length seat belt buckles.
