Details

What's wrong: The second row outboard seats may have excessive forward adjustment capability and/or may have an improperly installed bolt that secures the seat back to the seat base. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 202a, "head restraints", number 207, "seating systems", and number 210, "seat belt anchorage system."

Dealers will also inspect the bolts attaching the seat back to the seat base for the proper installation, correcting it as necessary.…
