If the child seat cannot be attached correctly to the anchorage bar, there is an increased the risk of injury.

GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect, remove any excess adhesive, and apply anti-corrosion primer to the inboard child seat anchorage bars, free of charge. The recall began August 3, 2018.
