What is this? This is about a small car called Smart Forfour. A part that holds the back seats in place may not be strong enough.
What's happening? If the car gets hit from the front, heavy things in the back could push on the seats. The seats might come loose.
Does this affect me? This problem is in some cars sold in Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, Portugal, Sweden, and Slovakia.
What should I do? If you own this car, ask a mechanic or dealer to check the seat anchors. Do not drive if you feel unsafe.
