02- Seats And Restraints#2015616
1 units affected
On certain vehicles, one of the four bolts that attach the driver side seat belt assembly to the vehicle may not have been fully torqued during assembly. An insufficiently torqued seat belt fastener may not adequately restrain an occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will remove the driver side B-pillar garnish trim, inspect and re-torque bolts if required.
- Brakes#2015080
329 units affected
On certain vehicles, the left-rear or right-rear parking brake cable brackets may not have been properly fastened during the assembly process. If the fastening bolts backed out completely, the parking brake bracket would separate causing the parking brake to fail. If this were to occur, the vehicle could roll away, which could result in a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the left-rear and right-rear parking brake bracket bolts and, if necessary, tighten the bolts to the correct torque specification.
