Issue

Issue:
On certain vehicles, parts of the front seat frame and backrest adjuster may not have been properly welded. As a result, the backrest adjustment could break in a rear-end crash and allow to seat to move.

Safety Risk:
A seatback that fails could cause an increased risk of injury in a crash.

Corrective Actions:
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the driver and passenger front seats. The seatback frames will be replaced, as necessary.
