What is being recalled
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 201, "OCCUPANT PROTECTION IN INTERIOR IMPACTS." THESE VEHICLES HAVE A CONSOLE COVER/ARMREST CAM LATCH THAT COULD RELEASE AT LESS THAN THE REQUIRED LOAD OF THE STANDARD.
Why it is dangerous
DURING A CRASH, THE CONSOLE COVER COULD OPEN AND THE COVER OR ITEMS STORED UNDER IT COULD INJURY AN OCCUPANT.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CONSOLE LATCH MECHANISM.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 00V-375 when calling a dealer.
