What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

THE WASHERS USED ON THE DRIVER'S SEATS WITH POWER SEAT ADJUSTMENTS WERE MISSING. ALSO, A SMALL NUMBER OF THE PEDESTALS MAY HAVE SMALL CRACKS IN THE JOINT BETWEEN THE BASE PLATE AND THE TUBE TO WHICH IT IS CONNECTED.

The risk

IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, THE SEAT MAY NOT RESTRAIN THE OCCUPANT INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL ADD WASHERS OR AN INTEGRAL NUT AND WASHER COMBINATION, AND REPLACE THE PEDESTALS WITH A NEW ASSEMBLY.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
