If one or both brackets are missing, dealers will replace the centre seat frame assembly.

20183102018-06-13. Fuel System. On certain vehicles, the high-pressure fuel pump may have been improperly manufactured and could fracture at its mounting flange. This could cause an oil or fuel leak which, in the presence of an ignition source, could increase the risk of fire, causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the high-pressure fuel pump, high-pressure discharge tube and mounting bolts.
20180342018-01-17. Structure. Certain vehicles may fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 118 - Power-Operated Window, Partition and Roof Panel Systems. The window electronic control module in the left and/or right second row rear door may have been manufactured incorrectly. As a result, the left and/or right second row power operated window may not automatically reverse when it encounters an obstruction while the window is closing, which is contrary to the requirements of the standard, and could increase the risk of injury.

Certain vehicles may fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 202 - Head Restraints, (CMVSS) 207 – Anchorage of Seats and/or (CMVSS) 210 – Seat Belt Anchorages. The second row outboard seat with forward adjustment capability exceeds design intent and/or may have an improperly installed bolt that attaches the seatback to the seat base. An inadequately retained seatback and/or improperly positioned occupant may increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash and may affect compliance with the standards. Correction: Dealers will inspect the second row outboard seats for proper seat adjustment travel and replace the seat frame as necessary. The seat will also be inspected for proper installation of the bolt attaching the seatback to the base.
