CHILD SEAT
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 225, "CHILD RESTRAINT ANCHORAGE SYSTEMS." SOME OF THE OWNER'S MANUALS FOR THESE VEHICLES ARE MISSING INSTRUCTIONS THAT PROVIDE A STEP-BY-STEP PROCEDURE, INCLUDING DIAGRAMS, FOR PROPERLY ATTACHING A CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM'S TETHER STRAP TO THE TETHER ANCHORAGE.
Fix: OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH AN ADDENDUM TO THE OWNER'S MANUALS.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED MULTIPLE RECALL NOTICES ON HIS VEHICLE REGARDING NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 00V366000 (CHILD SEAT). EACH TIME THE NOTICE WAS RECEIVED, HE WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REFUSED TO GIVE HIM THE REQUIRED OWNER'S MANUAL ADDENDUM. HE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, BUT THEY REFUSED TO SEND HIM THE COPY THAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO PROVIDE. THE OWNER'S MANUAL EXPLAINS HOW TO PROPERLY INSTALL THE ANCHORAGE SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE. SINCE THE CONTACT'S GRANDCHILD RIDES IN THE VEHICLE OFTEN, HE BELIEVES IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO GET THE MANUAL. THERE HAD BEEN NO FAILURE TO DATE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 7,000.
