2000–2001 Chrysler 300M & 2000–2001 Chrysler Concorde + 17 more recall: child seat
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: certain passenger vehicles, pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of FMVSS no. 225, "child restraint anchorage systems." some of the owner's manuals for these vehicles are missing instructions that provide a step-by-step procedure, including diagrams, for properly attaching a child restraint system's tether strap to the tether anchorage.
💥 The risk
In the event of a crash, the child seat may not be properly attached increasing the risk of injury to the child.
🔧 The fix
Owners will be provided with an addendum to the owner's manuals.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
