Details
What's wrong: These vehicles may have been built with the left rear seat belt retractor attaching bolts incorrectly tightened.
Why it matters: In the event of a crash, the vehicle occupant may not be properly restrained, increasing the risk of personal injury.
The fix: Dealers will tighten the retractor mounting bolts to the specified torque.
