SERVICE INFORMATION

Condition:
On the affected vehicles, incorrect rear seat belt shoulder anchor bolts (left and right) were fitted in production, which could result in the failure of the rear seat belts to provide proper protection in the event of a vehicle crash.

On the affected vehicles, the rear seat belt shoulder anchor bolts must be replaced with longer (40 mm vs. 30 mm) bolts. These bolts attach the rear passenger shoulder belts to the rear seat belt bar.
