Requirements breached
The belt buckle between the middle and passenger seat may has been bent excessively (more than 90°) by the passengers while entering or leaving the car. This can result in breakage of some wires of the steel cable which connects the belt buckle with the chassis. If this is the case, the cable could break in the event of an accident which leads to a higher injury risk, because the restraint function of the belt would fail.
