NHTSA recall 03V027000 · Jan 29, 2003 · 48 vehicles
Problem: CERTAIN TWO-SEAT, TWO-DOOR COUPE MODEL PASSENGER VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 225, "CHILD RESTRAINT ANCHORAGE SYSTEMS." THESE VEHICLES WERE NOT EQUIPPED WITH A TOP TETHER ANCHORAGE AS REQUIRED BY THE STANDARD.

Risk: IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE CHILD MAY NOT BE PROPERLY PROTECTED.
