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.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: Not supplied

Remedy: THE DEALER WILL REPOSITION THE MANUAL RELEASE LEVER IF FOUND NECESSARY, IN ORDER TO ELIMINATE ANY INTERFERENCE ON THE INERTIA LOCK PENDULUM.
