MAKE/MODELS: MODEL/BUILD YEARS:

Jeep/Commander 2006

MANUFACTURER: DaimlerChrysler Corporation

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V037000 MFG'S REPORT DATE: February 07, 2006

COMPONENT: Seat Belts: Rear

POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 24058

SUMMARY:
On certain sport utility vehicles, the integrated retractor bracket edge on the third row seat may contact the seat belt during certain operating conditions causing damage to the belt webbing.

CONSEQUENCE:
In the event of a crash, the seat belt may not properly restrain the third row occupant which can increase the risk of injury.

REMEDY:
Dealers will inspect the third row seat belts for damage and replace any damaged belts. In addition, an injected molded cover will be added to the retractor bracket on both third row seating positions to prevent future damage from belt contact with the retractor bracket. The recall is expected to begin during February 2006. Owners may contact DaimlerChrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
