Seats #91V039000 · 1991 · 1,801 units
Problem: Seat pedestals on midship seats were improperly welded; this failure of the seat base adds to the load on the safety belt anchorage, which in turn causes a failure to meet the fmvss 210 standards.
Risk: Seat failures cause the safety belts to not properlyrestrain occupants in a sudden stop or accident, increasing the risk of injury.
Fix: Change the weld pattern on the seat pedestals.
