INSIDE WINDSCREEN MOULDING MAY BE TOO HIGHLY REFLECTIVE AND NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH FMVSS 107.

The risk

NON-WORKING SEAT BELTS COULD CONTRIBUTE TO INJURY TOVEHICLE OCCUPANT IN SUDDEN STOP OR ACCIDENT. INSUFFICIENT PHOTOMETRIC STRENGTHOF THE BRAKE AND REAR SIGNAL LIGHTS COULD LEAD TO A VEHICLE COLLISON. THEMISSING WARNING LABEL ON THE OIL FILLER CAP COULD LEAD TO IMPROPER MAINTENANCE,AND RESULT IN AN UNDERHOOD FIRE.

Notes

SYSTEM: SAFETY BELTS ; FMVSS 208.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER CARS.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
