Defect

The suspension seat tethers are too long.
Safety risk
The occupant will experience insufficient suspension seat restraint which could lead to personal injury or death in the event of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will replace suspension seat tethers with shorter tethers. The recall began on april 11, 2005. Owners may contact pierce at 1-888-974-3723.
