Details

What's wrong: A number of incorrect driver side seat mounting bolts were installed into vehicles.

Why it matters: The rear anchor bolts securing the driver's seat may not properly secure the seat and could increase the risk of driver injury in an accident.

The fix: Dealers will inspect the seat mounting bolts and then replace the bolts if necessary. Owner notification began February 15, 2001.
