A12/0161/19
The body mounting panels of the rear seatbelt buckle anchorages have been made using an incorrect grade of material. In the event of an impact accident, if the rear centre seat is occupied at the same time as an outer rear seat, the rear seatbelt buckle may become detached from the bodywork, leading to injuries.
