Details

What's wrong:

Why it matters: In the event of a crash or other circumstances of severe loading, the worm gear could fracture and allow the seat to shift unrestrained forward or backward increasing the risk and/or severity of injuries to the driver.

The fix: Dealers will inspect the driver's seat track assembly, and if necessary, replace it free of charge. The safety recall began on May 4, 2011.
