The hazard
In the event of a severe frontal accident the nut may break and the passengers seated in the 2nd row of seats, utilising the center seat belt anchorage point, may not be sufficiently restrained.
What owners should do
Owners will be contacted by letter. The remedy for affected vehicles is to replace the existing bolt used to fasten the 2nd row seatbelt anchor with a longer bolt, which also includes an additional nut that fastens from the other end.
