## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, fasteners which secure the third\-row seat back assembly to the seat cushion assembly may not have been tightened to specification during assembly. This could potentially result in the third row seatback frame separating from the seat cushion frame during a crash, which could increase the risk of injury to vehicle occupants. Correction: Dealers will inspect and tighten fasteners to specification.
