Affects Mazda Tribute · 2001 — about 0 vehicles.

The hazard

Certain sport utility vehicles fail to comply with requirements of C.M.V.S.S. No. 225, "Child Restraint Anchorage Systems." The owner's manuals do not indicate which seating positions are equipped with child restraint anchorages. Also, the manuals do not explain the markings in the vehicles that locate the lower anchorages. In the event of a crash, the child seat may not be properly attached increasing the risk of injury to the child .Correction: Owners will be provided with revised owner manuals and the free label and installation instructions.
