Details

What's wrong: Certain MINI vans fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 209, "seat belt assemblies." The second and third seat belt buckle anchor bolts do not comply with the standards.

Why it matters: In the event of a vehicle crash, the occupant may not be properly restrained.

The fix: Dealers will replace the seat belt buckle anchor bolts. Owner notification began February 24, 2003.
