Big thing on TV last night about the Gen 3 seatbelts in Chrysler products, and how, because of its design with a very protruding release latch, it CAN come unfastened during an accident - especially one like a rollover, because of being hit by parts of the body and/or debris - and the person gets thrown out.

The Gen 3 has NOT been recalled.

Other car companies use a much less protruding release which does not come unfastened during tests.
