What's wrong: The headrest guide bracket was improperly welded to the seat back frame on the passenger side seat back assemblies only.

Why it matters: The headrest support bracket can break, increasing the risk of personal injury.

The fix: Dealers will replace the passenger seat back assembly with a new assembly.
