- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)

- Reported: 2018\-01\-24
- Component: Seats And Restraints
- Notification type: Safety Mfr
- Units potentially affected: 1

## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the backrest adjustment mechanism \(recliner\) of the front seats may not have been welded correctly during the manufacturing process. As a result, the welds could crack and lead to a failure of the latch mechanism. This could cause the seats to fold forward or rearward in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupants. Correction: Dealers will replace the backrest frame of the front seats.
