Version française (Transport Canada)
Problème : Sur certains véhicules, la ou les ceintures de sécurité de la deuxième rangée pourraient ne pas avoir été cousues correctement. Par conséquent, les ceintures de sécurité pourraient ne pas retenir correctement une personne lors d'un accident. De plus, la ou les ceintures de sécurité pourraient ne pas permettre de fixer correctement un siège d'auto pour enfant. Remarque : Le système universel d'ancrage d'attaches inférieurs (UAS) du véhicule n'est pas concerné par ce défaut et peut toujours être utilisé pour fixer un siège d'auto pour enfant. Risques pour la sécurité : Une ceinture de sécurité qui ne fonctionne pas correctement pourrait accroître le risque de blessure en cas d'accident. Mesures correctives : Land Rover doit aviser les propriétaires par la poste et leur demander d'amener leur véhicule chez un concessionnaire pour faire inspecter et, au besoin, remplacer la ou les ceintures de sécurité du siège de la deuxième rangée.
