Recall Summary Renault is recalling 6 Trafic vehicles because the front passenger seat belt pretensioner was not set up correctly and won't activate during a crash. The passenger will still be held by the seat belt, but without the extra tightening that the pretensioner normally provides. Renault will reconfigure the seat belt system on affected vehicles.
