What is wrong
SAFETY BELTS MAY NOT EXTEND EASILY FROM THEIR RETRACTORS WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED ON SLIGHT SLOPE AS REQUIRED BY FMVSS 208. REAR STOP LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNALS DO NOT MEET MINIMUM PHOTOMETRIC STRENGTH, AND FRONT TURN INDICATOR - SIDE MARKER LIGHTS ARE BELOW HEIGHT REQUIRED BY FMVSS 108. WARNING LABEL (NEAR FILLER OF BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR) TO CLEAN FILLER CAP BEFORE REMOVING MAY BE MISSING, WHICH VIOLATES REQUIREMENT OF FMVSS 105. INSIDE WINDSCREEN MOULDING MAY BE TOO HIGHLY REFLECTIVE AND NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH FMVSS 107.
What can happen
NON-WORKING SEAT BELTS COULD CONTRIBUTE TO INJURY TOVEHICLE OCCUPANT IN SUDDEN STOP OR ACCIDENT. INSUFFICIENT PHOTOMETRIC STRENGTHOF THE BRAKE AND REAR SIGNAL LIGHTS COULD LEAD TO A VEHICLE COLLISON. THEMISSING WARNING LABEL ON THE OIL FILLER CAP COULD LEAD TO IMPROPER MAINTENANCE,AND RESULT IN AN UNDERHOOD FIRE.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
