The problem
The front passenger seats have less lock pawl engagement on the inboard fore/aft adjuster than specified. This does not comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 207, "Seating systems."
The risk
This condition could result in seat movement with a belted occupant during a moderate to severe frontal impact.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and replace the passenger seat inboard fore/aft adjuster.
