General Motors is recalling nearly 200,000
Chevrolet Colorado and
GMC Canyon and
Isuzu i280 and i370 pickups. The vehicles are apparently equipped with a top child restraint tether anchor that's not accessible as required by federal law in the center seating position. This means parents could fail to secure their children properly, potentially causing injury in the event of a collision. GM says that it discourages using a child safety seat in the center due to the proximity of the airbags. The recall covers 2004-2011 Canyon and Colorado models and 2007-2008 Isuzu trucks.
GM says that its dealerships will service the vehicles under the recall free of charge.
At this point, the company is unaware of any injuries caused by the design defect.
