What's wrong, in plain English
On these Dodge Hornet and Alfa Romeo Tonale vehicles, the rear seat belts next to the windows can become twisted. When that happens, the belt may not pull back in the way it should. A belt that does not retract properly may not hold an occupant in place the way it is meant to. Dealers will replace the retractors, the parts that wind the belt in and out, at no cost to the owner.
What you should do
