What is wrong
The second row right hand seat assembly has a tilt forward function. A latch retains the seat in the normal ride postion, and this latch may release under severe frontal impact conditions, allowing the seat to pivot forward.
The risk
In the event of vehicle accident, the seat could pivotforward, increasing the risk of injury to the occupant.
The fix
Replace seat pawl assembly with a revised design assembly.
