atlantic-drugs.net/products/serophene.htm’>The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recently announced the recall of more than 192,000 General Motors and Isuzu mid-size pickup trucks because of a problem with the system that anchors child safety seats. The 2004 through 2011 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon are involved. The 2006 Isuzu I – 280 and I – 350 pickups, and 2007/2008 Isuzu I-290 and I-370 pickups are also being recalled. These Isuzu’s were built by GM.
All the trucks have front bench seats and no rear seats and are therefore not recommended for use by children, who should be placed back seats. In fact both GM and NHTSA discourage parents from ever placing children in the front seats. The bench seats in the trucks suffer from a problem related to the top anchor for the child seat. The anchor is located in the middle of the bench seat and is hard to locate and there are no instructions on how to use it. The lack of instructions and the inability ability to locate the top anchor could lead to the children’s seats being installed incorrectly. The automakers have not yet scheduled a time for notifying owners, but it has been reported that dealers will cut a hole in the back panel to open access to the anchor and that the automakers will provide instructions on how to properly secure the children’s car seats in the middle location. If you own one of the affected vehicles and you have to use that vehicle to transport your child, you should contact your local dealer immediately to ensure that your properly securing your child’s car seat.
