activated, a loud noise may be heard
and fine dust, which may appear to be
smoke, may be visible in the passenger

seat belt assemblies, and failure to heed
the warnings to not strike, modify, in-
spect, replace, service or repair the pre-
tensioner seat belt assemblies may lead
to improper operation or inadvertent
activation and serious injury.
