Defect Summary:	On certain passenger vehicles, the driver seat belt buckle wiring could be damaged by interference with the driver seat cushion height adjuster mechanism.
Consequence Summary:	Damaged driver seat belt buckle wiring could cause the seat belt warning lamp or the supplemental restraint system (srs) air bag wiring lamp to illuminate. it could also cause the air bag fuse (cavity number 5) to open, preventing air bag deployment. nondeployment of an srs air bag in a crash where air bag deployment is warranted could increase the risk or severity of injury in a crash.
