The short version

General Motors, LLC reported a problem with the child seat vehicle latch anchor. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The four rear-seat lower child seat LATCH anchorage bars may have excessive powder coating, which could prevent a child seat from being installed with the anchorage bars. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 225, "Child Restraint Anchorage Systems."

WHY IT MATTERS

The inability to install a child seat with the LATCH anchorage bars could result in an unsecured child seat, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.

WHAT TO DO

Take it to a dealer — they will inspect the latch anchorage bars, and remove and replace the finish, as necessary, free of charge.
