Details
What's wrong: One of the four bolts that connects the backrest to the driver's seat frame may not have been correctly installed.
Why it matters: A loose driver's seat backrest may not properly restrain the occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the driver's seat backrest and if necessary, install an attachment bolt, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed February 17, 2023.
