Details
What's wrong: The outboard safety belt webbing on the right-hand rear bucket seat can separate during a vehicle crash.
Why it matters: In the event of a crash, the vehicle occupant would not be properly restrained and personal injury could result.
The fix: Dealers will install a protector on the rear seat cushion frame.
