DEFECT #1 - SEATS

Posted on: 1993-11-29
Description
The recliner mechanism and the seat frame may have foam and/or vinyl between them, creating a soft joint.  This soft joint results in lower than specified bolt torque which leads to joint looseness, causing bolt fatigue and eventual bolt failure.

Consequence
If bolt failure occurs to the driver's seat, it wouldallow the seat back to suddenly recline, and could result in loss of vehiclecontrol and a vehicle crash without prior warning.

Corrective Action
Dealers will remove the foam and/or vinyl from between the recliner mechanism and the seat frame soft joint and replace the recliner bolts.
