Certain passenger vehicles, light duty pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles, and mini vans equipped with TRW seat belt buckle assemblies fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."

In the event of a vehicle crash, the occupant may not be properly restrained.

On certain minivans equipped with passenger-side power sliding doors, the door closes but may not be latched. If this happens, the sliding door can open while the vehicle is in motion, particularly when the vehicle ascends a hill, makes a turn, or travels over a rough road surface. An unrestrained occupant could fall out of the van and be injured.

Dealers will install a new actuator assembly to the power sliding door. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification began April 18, 2001.
