Summary |
ON CERTAIN
VEHICLES
EQUIPPED WITH
THE LEXUS LINK
SYSTEM, IT MAY
BE DIFFICULT TO
LOCK ONE OF THE
TWO LATCHES ON
THE BOTTOM OF
THE MIDDLE ROW
LEFT REAR SEAT
(LARGER SIDE OF
THE BENCH SEAT
DIRECTLY BEHIND
THE DRIVER). DUE
TO THE THICKNESS
OF THE LEXUS
LINK SYSTEM
STORAGE CASE,
THE STOPPER ON
THE BOTTOM OF
THE SEAT IS
SLIGHTLY
ELEVATED. THIS
ELEVATED
POSITION
MISALIGNS THE
LATCH TO THE
STRIKER.
|
|
Consequence |
IF THE VEHICLE
IS OPERATED WITH
ONLY ONE LATCH
LOCKED, THE
OCCUPANT OF THE
SEAT MAY BE
IMPROPERLY
RESTRAINED IN
THE EVENT OF A
CRASH,
INCREASING THE
RISK OF PERSONAL
INJURY.
