YOUR SERVICE QUESTIONS 1. Does the manufacturer confirm that campaign 21V257000 applies to this VIN, including the report’s equipment and production restrictions?

Which seating position or restraint component is included, and does the manufacturer give any interim occupancy instruction for this VIN?
