Models affected

Details

Certain vehicles may not comply with Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208 - Occupant protection in frontal impacts.

The center rear seat belt is equipped with a release mechanism that allows both the lap and the shoulder portion of the seat belt to be detached at the lower anchorage point by using a key-like tool.

As the rear center seat is non-folding, this is contrary to the requirements of the standard.

Correction: A production change has been undertaken to remedy this non-compliance condition.

No corrective recall action is required as the non-compliance condition is deemed to be non-safety related.
