2005 Pontiac G6 recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain passenger vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 225, 'child restraint anchorage systems.' the child restraint lower anchors in the center rear seating position are located approximately 90MM behind the corresponding z-point of the child restraint fixture (crf). The owner's manual states that anchors are at the outboard seating positions only.
💥 The risk
Without additional and corrected owner's manual information, an owner may encounter difficulty in installing child restraints with rigid attachments in the center position.
🔧 The fix
Owners will be mailed an owner's manual supplement. The recall ibegan on march 20, 2005. Owners may contact pontiac at 1-800-620-7668.
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.)
