## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the front seat back recliner gear teeth may wear excessively through repeated use, and cause the seat to slip partially rearward when force is applied.  If left unrepaired, the wear will continue and may result in the seat back fully reclining when force is applied.  If this happens while the vehicle is being driven, it could cause a loss of control and a crash.  Correction:  Both the driver and front passenger seat back recliner mechanisms will be replaced.
