Summary
On certain short wheel base mini vans the D-pillar mastic sound barrier patch can loosen and drop into the rear outboard seat belt assembly, causing the seat belt to become inoperative. In the event of a collision, the seat occupant may not be properly restrained, increasing the risk of personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the mastic patches with foam blockers and inspect and replace all 3rd row seat belt assemblies.
Summary
On certain vehicles equipped with the 3.3L or 3.8L engine the Nitrile "O-ring" seals used in the fuel rail may degrade over time and extended exposure to elevated temperatures. This could result in fuel leakage, and, in the presence of an ignition source, an underhood fire could occur. Correction: External seals will be installed at both of the fuel rail crossover tube joints. If the crossover tube joints are leaking or red rust exists in the area, the fuel rail assembly must be replaced.
Summary

As a result, the child seat occupant may not be adequately retrained in the event of a collision. Correcton: Intergrated child seat modules will be inspected for the correct touring of the shoulder belt webbing and improperly routed components will be corrected.
