Seatbelts
The clips aren't too hard to change out just one bolt and they are out. I had to do it on my old truck to one of them. If I remember correctly the clip itself was kinda pricey, $40 for one. I don't know what to tell you about the retractable part.
Before you have them replaced or replace them yourself, call the dealer. The SRS warranty on the truck is longer than the overall warranty and the seatbelts are covered under the SRS warranty. The buckles might not but the seatbelt that won't retract should.

As far as the retractable part, that might need cleaning. I don't know how much seat belt design has changed for newer trucks, but on ones I've messed with there is a weight that swings forward with the force of stopping the vehicle. It locks the seatbelt from moving forward or backwards. Make sure it's clean and no crap has gotten in there to block the swing of the weight.
I could be wrong but I think these might also have the pretensioners that fire off a small pyro charge in the even the airbags deploy that push the lock forward to avoid so much whiplash. Kinda creates a cradleing effect.
