Certain vehicles may fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 210 – Seatbelt Assembly Anchorages. The weld used to secure the nut to the center-passenger seatbelt D-ring mounting bracket may not be sufficient to meet the strength requirements of the Standard. Failure of the seatbelt D-ring anchorage to restrain the occupant would increase the risk of personal injury during a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the D-ring for the middle seating position.
On certain vehicles, the windshield wiper motor may be susceptible to salt spray intrusion which could cause the wiper motor connector to overheat and ignite. A vehicle fire could result in property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the connector plate on the windshield wiper motor.
On certain vehicles, the bolts that retain the universal joint to the yoke at the transmission may not be tightened to the engineering specifications.
