If your seat belt retractor is stuck in your Toyota Camry, it likely indicates a jam in the retractor system. Start by pulling firmly on the seatbelt to try and release it from the mechanism, which is a safety feature designed to lock the seatbelts in place during a collision. If it remains stuck, remove the plastic cover over the retractor to check if the seatbelt is folded or tangled inside. If so, gently straighten it out with a screwdriver. However, if the issue is in the spring mechanism, it would be best to have Toyota inspect it for further damage.

    To deal with a jammed seatbelt retractor in a Toyota Camry, first yank on the seatbelt to release it from its automatic locking system. Use a screwdriver or pliers to remove the plastic covers securing the seatbelt mechanism. Remove the seatbelt completely and untangle it if there are any knots. Make sure the seatbelt can retract smoothly back into place.
