## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the driver's side front power seat may not have adequate structural strength. The seat attaching welds were not made to specification, and as a result, the seat attachment strength is compromised.  Correction: The driver's side power front seat riser will be replaced with a riser that is magnesium inert gas \(mig\) welded.
