2008 PONTIAC SOLSTICE Recall

General Motors Corp. announced that they will be recalling certain models of the 2008 Pontiac Solstice. They stated that certain passenger vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard NO. 207, “Seating systems” and standard NO. 210 “Seat belt assembly anchorages”. These vehicles may have one to four inboard seat stud fasteners that do not meet specification for strength.

In the event of a crash, the seat and seat belt assembly may not restrain the occupant as intended and could result in injury to the occupant. Dealers will inspect the inboard seat studs and, if necessary, remove the stud and install a bolt free of charge. The recall began on October 10th, 2007. Owners may contact Pontiac at 1-800-620-7668 and Saturn at 1-800-972-8876.
