The problem

These vehicles may have been built with a missing weld from the seat back frame to the child seat tether anchorage. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 225, "Child Restraint Anchorage Systems."

The risk

A missing weld may allow the child seat tether to separate from the seat frame during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
