What's wrong, in plain English

The front seat frames in certain Nissan Kicks vehicles may have a hook bracket that was not welded securely enough. This can allow the front seat frames to become loose. A loose seat may not hold the person sitting in it as intended during a crash. The vehicles also fail to meet federal requirements for seats and seat belt attachments.
