VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH OPTIONAL FOLDING REAR SEATS. A BUILD-UP OF THE CARPET-FLOORMAT, SOUND DEADENER AND INSULATION UNDER THE REAR SEAT FRAME AND SEAT BELT ANCHOR TAB MAY PREVENT THE OPTIONAL FOLDING REAR SEAT CUSHION FROM LATCHING PROPERLY. SINCE THE OPTION INCLUDED SEAT-MOUNTED SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES, THE POSSIBILITY OF OCCUPANT INJURY EXISTS IF THE SEAT IS NOT LATCHED PROPERLY. A PARTIALLY ENGAGED LATCH MAY ALSO FAIL THE SEAT BELT ANCHORAGE LOADING REQUIREMENTS OF C.M.V.S.S. 210.
