What NHTSA recorded

Vehicle description: passenger vehicles equipped with accessory cargo mats in the third-seat and cargo area. This cargo mat interferes with the latching integrity of the folding third seats.

Possible consequence

In the event of a crash, an occupant of the third seat may not be properly restrained and could be ejected from the vehicle.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect the third-seat latch and striker. A rectangle will be removed from the cargo mat around each striker to provide adequate striker clearance and proper latching.
