Details

What's wrong: Certain wagons fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 210, "seat belt assembly anchorages." The seat belt anchor may separate from the floor of the vehicle before holding the required test load for the required time.

Why it matters: If a separation occurred in crash, the right and center rear seat occupants may not be properly restrained, increasing the risk of personal injury.

The fix: Dealers will install a rear seat center belt anchor reinforcement plate to the floor pan of the vehicle free of charge. The recall began on April 25, 2005.
