Seat belt buckle
Hi All, passenger seat belt got stuck today. Looks like the red centre tab on the release button got stuck over the clasp and broke off as belt was pulled out. Belt works fine, what does the centre tab do?

That red tab is just a visual indicator it pops up to show the buckle is unlatched. It doesn't affect the locking mechanism or webbing at all.
Belt still works fine, you just lost the unlocked warning flag. No safety issue.
If the button itself still presses and clicks, you're good to go. Just leave it.
