Both newer vehicles had insufficiently connected anchor linkages and neither incident involved a vehicle collision while occupants were belted, NHTSA said.
"With the sudden deceleration, my upper body flung forward and the force of my weight caused the seat belt anchor on the lower seat to detach completely," a complaint filed with the NHTSA said.
After the NHTSA opens a preliminary evaluation, it must decide whether to upgrade it to an engineering analysis before it can demand a recall.
