What NHTSA recorded

The seat pedestals are fatigue cracking adjacent to the weld which secures the pedestal's upper plate to the upper, telescoping portion of the adjustable column support.

Possible consequence

The upper mounting plate and seat upper gradually becomes loose resulting in the upper plate detaching from the supporting column and the seat can fall from its mounting. This can result in personal injury to the driver.

Remedy

Bostrom is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Dealers will repair these pedestals with a newly designed pedestal bracket kit.
