Details
What's wrong: The third-row lower seat belt anchorage bracket may have an insufficient weld stud.
Why it matters: A seat belt assembly with an insufficient weld may not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix: Dealers will replace the third-row lower seat belt anchorage bracket or the weld-stud on the bracket, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 19, 2026.
