What NHTSA recorded

The forward bolt that provides part of the attachment between the driver's seat back assembly and the seat cushion frame may be subject to fatigue fracture. Consequence of defect: if this bolt breaks, the driver and seat back will fall back, which could result in the driver losing control of the car and possibly lead to an accident.

Remedy

Replace screws that attach driver's seat back assembly to the seat cushion frame.
