“Middle passenger side seat back reclined forward with so much force that the seat hinge connector almost severed consumer hands. The consumer received stitches. The consumer was cleaning the vehicle and pressed the seat latch. When the latch released the seat it came forward with such force that the seat hinge connector almost severed her finger.
