What is wrong
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. These vehicles do not comply with requirements of fmvss no. 210, "seat belt assembly anchorages." some of the vehicles were produced with seat belt shoulder guide anchor bolts that were not adequately tightened at the center pillar and could fall out, making the seat belt inoperative.
The risk
In the event of a crash, the seat occupant may not be properly restrained.
The fix
Dealers will inspect these vehicles for proper installation and torque of the seat belt shoulder guide anchor bolts.
