What owners wrote
While I was driving 25MPH on hwy95 turning right exiting the hwy the front passenger head rest pooped open striking my 16 teen year old daughter in the head with frightening force which has caused headaches since the incident. Consumer stated case number from fda is [xxx]. '
Passenger side front seat had the active head rest plastic break around the retaining pin. Now the headrest is deployed forward and the latch is still in closed position with the metal pin still in place. Just popped forward on it's own. Car was parked and not moving.
