What Happened
The rivets holding your front seats in place might not be strong enough. They're like tiny metal fasteners that keep your seat secure to the floor.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're in a crash, the weak rivets could break, and your seat won't stay attached to the floor. This increases the risk of serious injury to you, especially your head, neck, or back.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the faulty rivets with stronger ones, free of charge. This repair is a priority, and you should schedule it as soon as you receive the recall notice.
