Recall 03V346000: Seat Anchor Inspection

DEFECT: Certain passenger and sport utility vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 207, "Seating Systems." One or both front anchor tabs for the front bucket seats are not engaged in the floor pan reinforcement slots. A seat with only one tab engaged or neither engaged would not meet the static rearward loading test requirements of the standard. In some crash conditions, the seat could pivot rearward and its occupant or a rear seat occupant could be injured more severely.


REMEDY: Dealers will ensure that both front anchor tabs are fully seated in the floor pan reinforcement slots. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification was expected to begin during October 2003. Owners may contact Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339.
