What is this? A car safety issue. The front seat belts may not stay tight after you fasten them. They can loosen while you are sitting in the seat.

What's happening? Chevrolet Trax cars made in Korea have this problem. The seat belts may not protect you well in a crash.

Does this affect me? If you own or drive a Chevrolet Trax in Germany, Spain, Hungary, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, or Slovenia, this could affect you.

What should I do? Take your car to a Chevrolet dealer right away. Ask your dealer to check and fix the seat belts. Do not wait.
