SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2004-2011 Saab 9-3 Convertible vehicles manufactured July 30, 2003, to February 15, 2011. In the affected vehicles, the driver's side front seat belt retractor may break, causing the seat belt webbing not to retract.

In the event of a crash, a seat belt that has not retracted may not properly restrain the seat occupant, increasing their risk of injury.
