What NHTSA recorded

An interference condition between the back cushion and the recliner handle can cause an incomplete latching of the recliner mechanism.

Possible consequence

This condition can cause the seat back to "ratchet" rearward. Rearward movement of the seat back increases to where the seatback has moved to a fully reclined horizontal position. Complete loss of back support could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle and cause an accident.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect the seat and, if necessary, install a new recliner latch spring and handle.
