The seats in the affected vehicles have seats belts that may be too long to fit smaller occupants. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
Risk: If the seat belt does not properly fit the seat occupant, the seat occupant has an increased risk of being injured in the event of a crash.
