Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 210.2 - Lower Universal Anchorage Systems for Restraint Systems and Booster Seats. A small amount of structural adhesive may have been inadvertently applied to the child seat anchorage bar during the assembly process. If this condition is present, the child seat would not be able to properly engage the lower universal anchorage system, which could increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect the inboard child seat anchorage bars for adhesive and remove it as necessary. Note: Child seats should be installed using the vehicle's rear seat belts in accordance with the vehicle owner’s manual and child seat manufacturer’s installation instructions until the recall is performed.
