Details
What's wrong: One or more of the compression springs that lock the backrest may not have been installed properly, and could dislodge or detach.
Why it matters: In a crash, the seat backrest may not fully lock, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the third-row seat and, if necessary, remove and reinstall improperly installed compression springs, and reinstall any missing springs, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 4, 2022.
