Passenger seat belt stop securing the buckle no apparent reason.
I attempted to secure my right front seatbelt clip into the designated right seatbelt receptor but it would not completely insert nor lock into place. Then, I checked if any debri had became lodged in the seatbelt receptor that may have blocked the seatbelt receptor entry way. No foreign debri was found so I tried again, but resulted in not locking.
The contact owns a 2008 Smart Fortwo Cabrio. The contact stated that the passenger side seat belt gets caught and becomes inoperable. The seat belt fails to retract and restrain the passenger. A complaint was filed with the manufacturer and dealers and the contact was informed that someone would call him back; however, he has not yet received a call. The failure mileage was 6,700.
