NHTSA recall 99V130000
Seats · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The seat recliner to frame attaching bolts can loosen, fatigue, and fracture allowing the seat back to suddenly recline.
Why it matters: If this were to occur to the driver's seat, this could result in a sudden loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will remove all foam and/or fabric sandwiched between the recliner assembly and the seat frame, install washers between the seat recliner and the seat frame at each attachment point, and install new attaching bolts torqued to a higher specification.
