Recall 91V074000
Seats › Front Assembly › Recliner — Chevrolet · reported 3 May 1991 · 173 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
THE FRONT SEAT UPPER HINGE COVER SCREWS ARE TOO LONG, AND INTERFERE WITH THE SEAT BACK INERTIA LOCK. THIS PREVENTS THE SEAT BACK FROM LOCKING PROPERLY.
The risk
IN THE EVENT OF A SUDDEN STOP OR VEHICLE IMPACT, ANUNLOCKED SEAT BACK WOULD INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE SEAT OCCUPANT.
The fix
REPLACE SCREWS SECURING UPPER HINGE TRIM COVER WITH CORRECT LENGTH SCREWS.
SYSTEM: FRONT BUCKET SEAT LATCH; FMVSS 207.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER CARS.
