Details

What's wrong: The seat elt anchorage attachments are missing or misinstalled on these vehicles.

Why it matters: A loose fastener can eventually detach and would not properly restrain an occupant in the event of a vehicle accident.

The fix: Dealers will inspect and, as necessary, repair the seat belt anchorage attachments.
