The driver's seat cushion frame may not have been tightened properly, which can result in an unsecured seat. An unsecured driver's seat may not adequately restrain the driver during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The high-pressure fuel pump may crack and leak fuel. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.
The front seat belt pretensioners may be missing the rivet that secures the quick connector and wire plate. A seat belt pretensioner missing a rivet will not properly restrain the occupant, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
