What NHTSA recorded

The manual lock release lever on the split-back bench assemblies may have been bent during assembly. This bent condition could prevent the inertia seat lock assembly from functioning automatically. As a result, the front seat back may not lock in the upright position if the car is moving forward and brought to an abrupt stop.

Remedy

The dealer will reposition the manual release lever if found necessary, in order to eliminate any interference on the inertia lock pendulum.
