NHTSA recall 05V098000

What's wrong: Certain passenger vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 225, 'child restraint anchorage systems.' The child restraint lower anchors in the center rear seating position are located approximately 90mm behind the corresponding z-point of the child restraint fixture (crf). The owner's manual states that anchors are at the outboard seating positions only.

Why it matters: Without additional and corrected owner's manual information, an owner may encounter difficulty in installing child restraints with rigid attachments in the center position.

The fix: Owners will be mailed an owner's manual supplement. The recall ibegan on March 20, 2005.
