Details
What's wrong: Certain inner front slide rail latch mechanisms may have been improperly welded.
Why it matters: If an inner slide rail latch mechanism breaks due to improper welding, forward and rearward seat adjustment will no longer be possible. In the event of a crash, the slide rails could break, exposing the occupant to a risk of injury.
The fix: Dealers will replace one or both front seat inner slide rails. Owner notification began March 30, 2001.
