The problem

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."

The risk

If the bracket does not meet the strength requirements, the anchorage may fail in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
