What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

THESE VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITH INCORRECT FASTENERS ATTACHING THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER SEAT PEDESTAL TO THE FLOOR. THIS DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 207, "SEATING SYSTEMS."

The risk

CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE: THE SEAT PEDAL ATTACHMENTS CAN PULL THROUGH THE FLOOR RESULTING IN THE FAILURE OF THE SEAT INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL INSTALL THE CORRECT FASTENERS.

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.
