Details

What's wrong: Certain vehicles equipped with rear integrated booster seats fail to comply with the labeling requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 213, "child restraint systems." Labels on the affected vehicles are missing warning information indicating that 'death or serious injury can occur' if the manufacturer's instructions are not followed when using child restraint systems.

Why it matters: This standard specifies requirements for child restraint systems used in motor vehicles and aircraft for the purpose of reducing the number of children killed or injured in motor vehicle crashes and in aircraft.

The fix: Dealers will install a new label with the correct warning information. The recall began on February 20, 2008.
