The defect

The risk
In the event of a crash, the weld seam may break and cause the seat cushion to shift forward, increasing the risk of injury.
The remedy
DVUSA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the tilt adjuster for the front seats, free of charge. DVUSA issued owners an interim notification on December 19, 2019. The recall began March 9, 2020. Owners may contact DVUSA customer service at 1-877-762-8267. DVUSA's number for this recall is VS3SITZVER.
