On certain vehicles, bolt securing the seat belt retractors on 2nd, 3rd and 4th row seats may not have been tightened to specifications at time of assembly. This could cause the bolts to loosen over time, potentially resulting in separation of the seat belt retractor from the seat structure. This could increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect and replace and/or tighten bolts as necessary.
On certain P10, P20 and P30 vehicles equipped with Gruman Olson bodies ,the drivers seat belt anchor bolt may loosen through normal vehicle vibration. This condition could allow the seat belt anchorage to become loose and would not restrain the driver in the event of an accident.
No risk description available.
No remedy description available.

On certain Audi Coupe Quattro, a securing clip affixed to the outside hinges of the left and right front seat back may not be properly seated due to interference with seat covering material.

On certain vehicles, the front seat back recliner gear teeth may wear excessively through repeated use, and cause the seat to slip partially rearward when force is applied. If left unrepaired, the wear will continue and may result in the seat back fully reclining when force is applied. If this happens while the vehicle is being driven, it could cause a loss of control and a crash.
No risk description available.
Both the driver and front passenger seat back recliner mechanisms will be replaced.
On certain vehicles, the lever on the second row outboard seats, which allows access to the third row seat, may stay in the unlocked position after returning the seat to its normal seating position.

Certain vehicles, with the optional three-seat bench in the second seating row, may have been equipped with seatbelts that were certified to European standards, but fail to comply with Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 209 - Seat Belt Assemblies. Due to incorrect load limiter mounting, the assembly loop is unable to withstand the forces specified by the Standard. Failure of the seatbelt to restrain the seat occupant as intended would increase the risk of personal injury during a crash.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the seatbelt assemblies.
Certain vehicles may not comply with Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 208 - Occupant Protection in Frontal Impacts. The center rear seat belt is equipped with a release mechanism that allows both the lap and the shoulder portion of the seat belt to be detached at the lower anchorage point by using a key-like tool. As the rear center seat is non-folding, this is contrary to the requirements of the standard.
No risk description available.
A production change has been undertaken to remedy this non-compliance condition. No corrective recall action is required as the non-compliance condition is deemed to be non-safety related.
On certain vehicles, there may be a problem with the front seat belt pretensioners. As a result, the driver and/or passenger seat belt pretensioners could explode in a crash.

No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the rear seat latch strikers with updated versions.
On certain vehicles, the crimping of the tube for the Micro Gas Generator (MGG) in the 3rd row passengers side seat belt retractor was not manufactured to specification.

No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the 3rd row passenger’s side seatbelt retractor.
On certain vehicles, one or both front anchor tabs for the front seats may not be engaged in the floor pan reinforcement slots. In a vehicle crash, the seat(s) could pivot rearward, resulting in possible increased injury to its occupant or a rear seat occupant.
No risk description available.

On certain vehicles, a mechanism within the Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) of one or both of the front seat belts may be incompatible. In the event of a crash warranting activation of the ELR, the vehicle-sensitive mechanism may cause the seat belt not to lock, which could increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace both of the front seat belt assemblies.
On certain vehicles equipped with electrically heated front seats, there is a possibility, under extreme cold conditions, for the seat heater control circuit to overheat and fail due to insufficient electrical grounding.

No risk description available.
Dealers will install an additional ground harness to the seat heater control system.
Certain vehicles may have been equipped with seat belt pretensioner igniters that do not meet specifications. This could cause the affected pretentioners to fail to deploy properly in the event of a crash (where deployment is warranted), which could increase the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the affected front seat belt pretentioners.
On certain vehicles, the second-row seats may not be installed correctly on the seat rails. As a result, the seats may not lock in place and could move in a crash. Note: This is an expansion of Transport Canada recall 2022-135.
A seat that moves in a crash could create an increased risk of injury.
