Defect Summary

The involved vehicles fail to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 207, "anchorage of seats", due to possible failure of the seat post attachment at the floor in the event of an accident. These vehicles have oversized bolt holes in the floor pan which may allow the seat attaching nuts to pass through them and thus tighten against the bottom of the seat base instead of the longitudinal sill.

Corrective Action

Dealer will install a steel reinforcement plate on the bottom surface of the longitudinal sill, at no cost to owner.
