What is wrong

NOTE: VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH SECOND ROW BENCH SEATS AND INTEGRATED CHILD SEAT (ICS). ALL VEHICLES IN THIS RECALL HAVE BEEN CORRECTED.

THE HEADREST LOCKOUT MECHANISM MAY NOT ENGAGE AND LOCK THE HEADRESTS IN THE "DOWN" POSITION, AS INTENDED WHEN THE ICS IS DEPLOYED. CONSEQUENTLY, A VEHICLE OCCUPANT COULD MOVE THE HEADREST TO THE "UP" POSITION, AND AS A RESULT A CHILD IN THE ICS WOULD RECEIVE LESS THAN THE INTENDED PROTECTION IN THE CHILD HEAD AREA.

CORRECTION: SECOND ROW BENCH SEATS HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH SEATS BUILT WITH REVISED HEADREST LOCKOUT MECHANISMS.
