The problem

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 207, "Seating Systems," and 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."

The risk

If the seat moves in the event of a crash, the seat occupant would be at an increased risk of injury.
