Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 210.2 - Lower Universal Anchorage Systems for Restraint Systems and Booster Cushions. The inboard child restraint fixture anchor on the left rear seat may have been bent downwards during vehicle assembly. This could result in a child restraint system not fully engaging both lower anchors, contrary to the requirements of the standard. In the event of a crash, if a child seat is not properly secured, it could increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect the inboard lower anchor on the left rear seat, and if necessary, repair.
