I've never exercised this, but I thought that warranty on the seatbelt and associated hardware was lifetime...

seat belt warranty expires 10 years from in-service (purchase date) of the truck
have you tried disassembling & cleaning the mechanism?
it may have something (debris) stuck in it (which wouldn't be covered by warranty anyway)

looking at it, I can't figure out how to take it apart.

it may not be supposed to be disassembled

Mine was stuck too, wouldn't go in or out. Middle seat second row. I thought I was going to have to visit a stealership. I ended up just pulling the heck out of it and going side to side while it was all the way out. Then it retracted and now works properly. Give it a try, it may work.

bellwilliam, any updates? I have the same problem. I just noticed it while reinstalling that seat the other day, as the PO had it removed for a more van-like setup for his kids.
