Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Vehicles have been equipped with lower anchor bars for use in attaching child restraint systems which, if specifically used with european-isofix-type rigid-style connector child restraint systems, could become damaged during vehicle operation. If the lower anchor bar(s) become damaged during vehicle operation, this would increase the risk of injury to a child in a child restraint system attached to the lower anchor bars in a crash. A reinforcing bracket will be welded to the lower anchor bars and the vehicle body.”
