NOTE: Some vehicles above may have been identified as not involved in this recall and therefore have been excluded from this recall. The second-row seat latches on about 1,160 of the above vehicles may have a seat-to-floor mounting latch that may bind and stick open. A seat not secured may increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant during a crash. The condition described above does not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 225 S9.4.1 requires that, “When tested in accordance with S11 [detailing the pull tests], the lower anchorages shall not allow point X on SFAD 2 to be displaced horizontally more than the distances specified below …(b) 150 mm, for lower anchorages when a force of 5,000 N is applied in a lateral direction.” A stuck open second row seat-to-floor mounting latch may prevent the seat from being properly secured to the floor and not meet the lateral force requirement. Remedy Available IMPORTANT: Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer new vehicle inventory. Federal law requires you to complete this recall service on these vehicles before retail delivery. Dealers should also consider this requirement to apply to used vehicle inventory and should perform this recall on vehicles in for service. Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process.
