The issue
THE FORWARD SCREW WHICH PROVIDES PART OF THE ATTACHMENT BETWEEN THE DRIVER`S SEAT BACK ASSEMBLY AND THE SEAT CUSHION FRAME COULD FRACTURE AND PERMIT THE DRIVER'S SEAT BACK TO PIVOT REARWARD. SUCH A CONDITION COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE DRIVER'S ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH. CORRECTION: NEW DRIVER'S SEAT CUSHION ATTACHMENT SCREWS WILL BE INSTALLED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
