Certain vehicles were built with a centre and passenger side rear seat belt anchor that fails to conform to CMVSS 210.

No risk description available.
Dealers will install a rear seat center belt anchor reinforcement plate to the floor pan of the vehicle.
On certain vehicles, the trim for the seat fold switch on the second-row seats may not have been installed properly. As a result, the switch could become stuck. If this happens, the seat(s) could fold and/or move unexpectedly.

In the event of a vehicle crash in which belt restraint is required, failure of a front seat belt would increase the likelihood of injury to the wearer of the seat belt.
No risk description available.
No remedy description available.

On certain vehicles, the driver and passenger seat fastening bolts attaching the backrest and seat shell to the seat rails and the fastening bolts of the seat belt buckle may not have received adequate tightening torque during vehicle assembly. Seats and seat belt buckles which have not been properly bolted may not be able to withstand the deceleration forces occurring during a vehicle crash.
No risk description available.
Dealers will torque bolts to specs.
On certain vehicles equipped with heated cloth seats, over time, the wiring for the seat heater mats could become damaged. If a heating mat were to be damaged, it could melt a small hole in the lower portion of the seat base or backrest, which could result in injury to the seat occupant.
No risk description available.

On certain vehicles, in the event that the seat belt mount and seat belt reel attachment bolts were removed during servicing, they may have been reinstalled in the incorrect location due to an error in servicing literature. This could weaken the seat belt attachment points and potentially allow separation in a crash, increasing the risk of injury and/or property damage.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect the screws and replace if necessary.
On certain vehicles, the seat wiring harness layout may have been routed incorrectly during manufacturing. Through normal seat adjustment, this could cause the seat wiring harness to rub against metal points on the seat/seat frame assembly. Over time, this could lead to an inoperative seat adjustment system, and in some cases could result in an electrical short to ground between the seat wiring harness and the seat adjustment motor assembly, which could increase the risk of fire causing injury and/or damage to property.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect routing and will secure and protect the seat wiring harness, and if necessary, install a new seat wiring harness.
