If the seat belt is locked in this condition, the occupant may not be able to properly fasten the seat belt.
Consequence: an occupant not properly wearing a seat belt may have an increased risk of injury during a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the front seat belt assemblies. The recall is expected to begin during May 2006. Owners may contact Lexus at 1-800-255-3987.
