Description (français)

Les véhicules peuvent avoir été équipés de dispositifs d'inclinaison de dossier de siège de conducteur dont les plaques d'assemblage sont fabriquées en un acier de qualité douteuse. Sous certaines contraintes, ces plaques peuvent se déformer et permettre aux dents de fixation de lâcher. Le dossier peut alors basculer en arrière.
