What is wrong
These vehicles were assembled with center rear seat belt anchor bolts not properly installed. This does not meet the requirements of fmvss no. 210, "seat belt assembly anchorages."
The risk
In the event of a vehicle crash, the seat belt system would not withstand the required load and injury to the seat occupant could occur.
The fix
Dealers will tighten the center rear seat belt anchor bolts to specification.
