The problem
Certain passenger vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 207, "seating systems." and standard no. 210, "seat belt assembly anchorages." these vehicles May have one to four inboard seat stud fasteners that do not meet specification for strength.
The risk
In the event of a crash, the seat and seat belt assembly May not restrain the occupant as intended and could result in injury to the occupant.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the inboard seat studs and, if necessary, remove the stud and install a bolt free of charge. The recall began on October 10, 2007. Owners May contact Pontiac at 1-800-620-7668 and Saturn at 1-800-972-8876.
