Repair when you can Child seat

If the child seat is not properly attached to the lower anchors, it can increase the child's risk of injury in the event of a crash.

The affected vehicles have an inboard lower anchor for child restraints on the left rear seat that may have been bent downwards, preventing the child seat from fully engaging both lower anchors. As such, these vehicles may fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 225, "Child Restraint Anchorage Systems."

What to do: Book it in at your next service. There is no deadline and no charge.
