The problem

The risk
In the event of a crash, the child seat May not be properly attached increasing the risk of injury to the child.
The fix
Owners will be provided with the necessary child restraint system information. Owner notification is expected to begin October 8, 2001. Owners who do not receive the free information within a reasonable time should contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
