Defect description

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."

Safety risk

If the seat belt anchorages pull loose in a crash, they will not properly restrain the occupant, increasing the risk of injury.
