The problem

On certain sport utility vehicles, the front seat anchorage nut strength is insufficient because the nuts were installed improperly.

The risk

If a collision occurred, the seat anchorage would not withstand the force, and the front seat occupants would not be restrained properly.

The fix

Telephone calls were made to each owner and the vehicles have been replaced.

Contacts

Also, customers can contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
