What is wrong
Certain minivans, passenger and sport utility vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 225, "child restraint anchorage system." the owner's manual does not explain the meaning of the location symbols for the child restraint lower universal anchorage system.
The risk
This does not meet the requirements of the standard.
The fix
Owners will be provided with a supplement for their owner's manual. This supplement describes and shows the location symbols for the child restraint anchors that are located in the vehicle and on the child restraint or booster cushion. Owner notification began august 18, 2003. Owners should contact buick at 1-[removed], cadillac at 1-[removed], chevrolet at 1-[removed], GMC at 1-[removed], pontiac at 1-[removed], or oldsmobile at 1-[removed].
