2006 Lexus GS & 2006 Lexus IS recall: seat belt
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain passenger vehicles, if the front seat belt retractors (both driver and front passenger) become locked, they may not release due to a component of the emergency locking system. If the seat belt IS locked in this condition, the occupant may not be able to properly fasten the seat belt.
💥 The risk
An occupant not properly wearing a seat belt may have an increased risk of injury during a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the front seat belt assemblies. The recall began on april 21, 2006. Owners may contact lexus at 1-800-255-3987.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
