It may not apply to vehicles sold in your country. Check with your VIN at the source.
Details
Certain vehicles do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 108. The lens of the side marker lamp and side reflex reflector in the tail lamp assembly were manufactured with incorrect dye that is more susceptible to UV and high temperature decomposition. As a result, the red colour could fade over time. Correction: Dealers will replace all affected tail lamp assemblies.
Details
On certain vehicles, the seat belt retractor actuator can deform and cause unwanted, complete or infrequent, locking of the retractor. As a result, it may not be possible to pull the seat belt out of the retractor, rendering the belt unusable. Correction: Seat belt retractor will be repaired.
Details
On certain vehicles, the seat belts may not retract properly due to interference between the seat and the convertible top cover. This could cause excessive slack in the belts thereby reducing their effectiveness increasing the risk of injury to an occupant in a collision. Correction: The convertible top cover will be replaced with a new cover designed to prevent interference with the seat belt.
