What's wrong?
The child-seat top tether anchor is the fixed attachment point used with a child restraint's upper strap. On 2004-2011 Isuzu I-290/I-370, Colorado, I-280/I-350, and Canyon regular-cab vehicles, and extended-cab vehicles without a rear seat, the affected setup uses a front 60/40 split bench seat. The tether anchor is supposed to help hold the child restraint upright and reduce forward movement.
The problem is access and instruction, not a worn or broken part. The top tether anchor for the front center seat is not accessible, and the owner manual does not explain how to use that tether location. That means an owner installing a child seat in the front center position does not have the anchorage access and guidance required by the federal child-seat anchorage standard.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is built into the seating and manual setup, so it will not announce itself with a light, sound, or change in driving feel.

What's the safety risk?
An improperly installed child restraint in the front center seat can perform less well in a crash. That increases the risk of injury or death to the child in the restraint. Avoid placing a child restraint there until the dealer adds top tether access and instructions. Repair will be free at any franchised Isuzu dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm whether this 2004-2011 recall covers your I-290/I-370, Colorado, I-280/I-350, or Canyon.
- Review the owner letter mailed on December 14, 2010 for your exact repair instructions.
- Contact a franchised Isuzu dealer and ask about the free trim-cover opening and owner-manual supplement for the front center child-seat top tether anchor.
- Reference recall number 10V575 when you call so the dealer can find the campaign.
- Avoid installing a child restraint in the front center seat until the top tether anchor access and instructions are corrected.
What happens at the repair
Because the final schedule has not been provided, the dealer repair should be treated as not open yet. Once available, an Isuzu technician will cut an access opening in the back panel trim cover so the top tether anchor for the front center seat position can be reached. The dealer will also provide supplemental owner manual information explaining how to use that tether anchor. Parts and labor are covered under the recall once the repair opens.
