## What is wrong

Certain station wagons and 3 door vehicles come equipped with a folding 60/40 second seat that becomes a load floor in the folded position. When the 60% portion of the seat is folded, if a load is applied to the front edge of the load floor, the outboard hinge pivot could disengage from the hinge.  If the seat is then returned to the upright position without re\-engaging the hinge pivot, the seat, and seat belts may not provide the intended level of performance in the event of a crash.  Correction:  Dealers will install a revised seat back hinge.
