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.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":null,"part_number":null,"units":1,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Sièges et dispositifs de retenue","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Dans certains véhicules, le mécanisme de réglage du dossier (inclinable) des sièges avant pourrait avoir été mal soudé lors de la fabrication. Par conséquent, les soudures pourraient se fissurer, ce qui pourrait causer une défaillance du mécanisme de verrouillage. Le dossier des sièges pourrait alors basculer vers l'avant ou vers l'arrière en cas d'accident, ce qui augmenterait les risques de blessures pour les occupants des sièges.
