Certain vehicles do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 210.1 - Tether Anchorages for Child Restraints . The bolt in the child rear seat tether kit is too long, has insufficient threads to meet proper clamp load, and the spacer in the kit is too short. In the event of a vehicle crash, a child seat may not be properly restrained by the anchor, and injury to the seat occupant could occur.rnCorrection: Dealers will replace any previously installed child seat tether bracket kits.
