What is wrong
The two rear inboard safety belt attachment bolts may have inadequate thread engagement into the floor pan anchor nuts.
The risk
The safety belt attachment bolts may not support theload of rear seat passengers in the event of a sudden stop or accident; theassembly fails to comply with the static load requirements of fmvss 210, "seatbelt assembly anchorages." the inability to support the load of rear seatpassengers increases the risk of injury to seat occupants.
The fix
Replace the two inboard safety belt anchor bolts with longer bolts on all vehicles.
