INTRODUCTION

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has been investigating certain seat belt buckles manufactured by Takata Corporation for vehicle model years 1986 through 1990 and a part of 1991. These buckles were installed in numerous models built by several manufacturers including certain 1990-91 Infiniti models. Infiniti is aware of a small number of reports of seat belt buckle release button breakage in vehicles equipped with these Takata buckles. A broken piece may prevent the buckle from latching or prevent it from unlatching.
