Recall 1987053

The issue

ON VEHICLES WITH A MANUALLY ADJUSTED DRIVER'S SEAT, THE METAL FLOOR PAN ANCHOR BAR COULD FATIGUE AND BREAK AROUND THE LEFT FRONT OUTER SEAT ADJUSTER STUD. THIS COULD ALLOW THE STUD TO SEPARATE FROM THE ANCHOR BAR AND CAUSE THE DRIVER'S SEAT TO TIP REARWARD UNEXPECTEDLY, RESULTING IN POSSIBLE LOSS OF CONTROL AND VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: A REINFORCEMENT BRACKET WILL BE INSTALLED ON THE FLOOR PAN ANCHOR BAR.

Description (français)

Sur les véhicules dotés d'un siège du conducteur à réglage manuel, la barre d'ancrage peut être sujette à la fatigue et se briser autour du goujon avant gauche extérieur. La défectuosité peut permettre au siège de basculer subitement vers l'arrière et le conducteur risque alors de perdre la maîtrise du véhicule.
