The defect
Seats Incorporated is recalling certain ABTS 6-way, seats, part number 314313. Due to poor weld penetration, the motor mount for the front vertical adjustment may separate and the riser may come out of position, causing the seat to unexpectedly move. As such, these seats fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 207, "Seating Systems."
The risk
In the event of a forward impact crash, the front vertical adjustment may inadvertently adjust, increasing the risk of injury.
The remedy
Seat Incorporated will notify owners and dealers will replace the seat, free of charge. The recall began July 15, 2019. Owners may contact Seats Incorporated customer service at 1-800-767-3287.
