On certain vehicles, the driver and passenger seat fastening bolts attaching the backrest and seat shell to the seat rails and the fastening bolts of the seat belt buckle may not have received adequate tightening torque during vehicle assembly. Seats and seat belt buckles which have not been properly bolted may not be able to withstand the deceleration forces occurring during a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will torque bolts to specs.
