What's wrong, in plain English
The seat belt anchors for the driver and front passenger may come loose from the vehicle. If an anchor detaches, the seat belt will not properly hold the occupant in place during a crash, which raises the risk of injury. Dealers will inspect the anchors and reinforce or replace them as needed, free of charge.
