Details

What's wrong: This cargo mat interferes with the latching integrity of the folding third seats.

Why it matters: In the event of a crash, an occupant of the third seat may not be properly restrained and could be ejected from the vehicle.

The fix: Dealers will inspect the third-seat latch and striker. A rectangle will be removed from the cargo mat around each striker to provide adequate striker clearance and proper latching.
