Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My kid pulled on his seat belt to fasten it, and the male latch came detached from the belt. the latch is made by trw-automotive, the world's largest provider of seat belt systems. it has the following identification: 0006 5980 trw. the seat belt that failed is a lap-belt only (center-seat). the latch consists of two sliding metal parts and a plastic cover. when the plastic cover breaks, the belt comes loose from the male latch. the seat belt can fail in a crash resulting in injury from the crash. i reported this to vw customer care, 800-822-8987. they entered it into their database, and told me to go to a vw dealer to get a repair. *nm
