| Defect Summary | On certain minivans, the outboard release handle on the impact-side second-row bucket seat may be actuated and the rear latches may unlatch early in a side impact crash. this was discovered in a side impact test run by gm, under conditions similar to nhtsa's new car assessment program (ncap) side impact test. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | If the rear latches of the seat release early in a severe side impact, the front outboard latch may disengage and increase the potential for injury to the occupant of the seat. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers will remove the seat latch release handle and install a black plastic cap over the exposed metal stud to eliminate the side impact safety concern free of charge. the recall began on april 5, 2005. owners may contact saturn at 1-800-972-8876, chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, and pontiac at 1-800-620-7668. | |||||||||||||||

| There are no latch anchors in the 3rd row of any vehicle your company offers. as a parent of multiples and an additional child getting them in the vehicle safely is a huge priority for me. even though the seatbelts are supposed to lock and keep the seat stable, that means nothing when you can not fit the number of carseats needed in the vehicle properly due to having to use seatbelts in place of the latch. there is also only 1 anchor in the 3rd row for a child seat, shouldn't there be one for each seat? *tr | |||
