Details

What's wrong: The lower seat back attaching bolt on the driver seat can fail and separate.

Why it matters: If the bolt fails while the vehicle is being driven, the driver could lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

The fix: Dealers will replace the lower seat back attaching bolt on the driver's seat with a higher strength bolt that includes a self locking nylon patch.
