What is wrong
Vehicle description: light duty pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles. These vehicles do not comply with the occupant protection requirements of fmvss no. 208, "occupant crash protection."
The risk
In the event of a vehicle crash, the right front passenger restraint systems may not meet the neck extension requirements.
The fix
Dealers will install a tray insert on the top of the passenger side of the instrument panel. The tray insert corrects the noncompliance.
