Recall 77V217000
Seats — Chevrolet, GMC · reported 14 Dec 1977 · 413 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
THE INVOLVED VEHICLES ARE IN NON-COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 207, "ANCHORAGE OF SEATS", DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY FOR THE FRONT SEATS TO SEPARATE FROM THE SEAT ADJUSTER TRACKS. THE SEPARATION MAY OCCUR BECAUSE THE NUTS ON THE SEAT FRAME CAN BE PULLED TOTALLY OR PARTIALLY THROUGH THE SEAT FRAME SINCE THE SPACERS USED BETWEEN THE ADJUSTER AND THE SEAT FRAMES DO NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT OF THE NUT MOUNTING SURFACES.
The fix
DEALER WILL, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE FRONT SEAT ATTACHMENT NUTS FREE OF CHARGE.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT TRUCK, VANS.SYSTEM: INTERIOR; FRONT SEATS.CONSEQUENCES OF DEFECT: IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT , THE SEATS COULD BREAKLOOSE, INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY TO OCCUPANTS.
