Details

What's wrong: The bolted joint, used for attaching the bracket that is part of the installation hardware for the isofix-type child restraint, may have been incorrectly tightened.

Why it matters: In the event of a crash, the seat occupant may not be properly restrained, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix: Dealers will inspect the anchorage bolts and tighten to the correct torque level. Owner notification began May 7, 2001.
