Details
What's wrong: The web mounted rear seat belt inboard anchor positions may not achieve the required load of fmvss no. 210, "seat belt assembly anchorages."
Why it matters: In the event of a crash, the vehicle occupant would not be properly secured.
The fix: Dealers will add a washer to each rear inboard seat belt anchor attachment.
