“While driving my 1995 Mitsubishi Montero sr, the driver side front seat reclining bracket broke causing me to lose sight of the road. As a result, I was forced to swerve the vehicle to the side of the road while in the middle of traffic. Upon inspection I noticed the bracket had broken completely away from the frame of the seat.”
