A type of seat belt used in about 16 million vehicles (including 4 million minivans) is thought to acidentally unlatch-and is being blamed for 17 deaths and 27 serious injuries. The belt, called gen3, has a release button that protrudes from the rest of the buckle and cam come undone when bumped by an elbow, hand, or another child's car seat (when car seats are installed next to each other). To see pictures of the gen3 and the newer gen4 belts.
