What’s wrong with it?

COMPLIANCE TO FMVSS IS REQUIRED FOR ANY AND ALL VEHICLES IMPORTED INTO THE UNITED STATES TO ASSURE MINIMUM SAFETY REQUIREMENTS.

THE VEHICLES ARE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH SEVERAL FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARDS.

FMVSS 101 AND 105: THE WORD “BRAKE” IS NOT DISPLAYED IN CLEAR VIEW OF THE DRIVER ON THE ILLUMINATED MAP INDICATOR LAMP.

FMVSS 208: THE DURATION OF THE ILLUMINATION OF THE SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT MAY FALL SHORT OF THE REQUIRED 60 SECONDS AFTER THE IGNITION SWITCH IS MOVED TO THE “ON” OR “START” POSITION.

FMVSS 209: THE AUTOMATIC SHOULDER BELT IDENTIFICATION LABEL DISPLAYING THE MANUFACTURER’S NAME, MODEL, AND DATE OF MANUFACTURE IS MISSING.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
