The problem

The seat belt "d" ring support bracket for the two companion seats (seats behind the driver/front passenger seats) was incorrectly installed.

The risk

In its present location, the support bracket is not attached to a structural member and can separate from its mounting during an accident increasing the risk of personal injury.

The fix

Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, remove and replace the seat belt "d" ring support bracket in the correct location.
