Condition
General Motors has decided that certain 2008 model year Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky vehicles fail to conform to Federal/Canada Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards 207 and 210 for seating systems and seat belt assembly anchorages. These vehicles may have one or more inboard seat stud fasteners
that do not meet GM's 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.
Correction
Dealers/retailers are to inspect the inboard seat studs, and if necessary, remove the stud and install a bolt.
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2008 model year Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky vehicles built within the VIN breakpoints shown.

breakpoints may be involved.
