Summary
On certain vehicles, the bolt which fastens the driver’s seat belt anchor to the vehicle’s inner sill structure may not have been tightened to specification during assembly. This could result in the driver's seat belt possibly detaching from the anchor point. If the vehicle were to be involved in a collision, and the seat belt were to detach, it could increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will verify the proper connection between the driver’s seat belt anchor and to the vehicle’s inner sill structure.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the cable between the actuating lever for the secondary hood latch and the secondary latch may become corroded over time. This could cause the secondary hood latch to remain in the open position when the hood is closed. If the vehicle were to be driven with the primary hood latch disengaged, or primary hood latch is released while driving, the secondary hood latch may not hold the hood closed while the vehicle is in motion. If this were to occur, it could compromise the driver’s ability to see the road and its users, as well as cause damage to the windshield. These issues could result in a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the secondary hood latch cable.
