What this recall means for you
A weld that attaches the second-row seat back frame to the child seat tether anchorage may be missing on some vehicles. Without that weld, the tether anchor can separate from the seat frame during a crash, which raises the risk of injury to a child riding in a child seat.
Owners should have their vehicle inspected at an authorized dealer. Dealers will inspect the second-row seat back frame and replace it if necessary, at no cost to the owner. Owner notification letters were mailed April 7, 2022. You can also check your VIN for open recalls and contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403, referencing recall Z24.
