Seats Incorporated is recalling approximately 8,853 Passenger Flip Seats with part number 188599VN01. These seats may be missing a critical safety clip that is designed to keep the pivot rod in place. Without this clip, the seat can fail or fall unexpectedly, which could cause someone to be hurt. Owners of vehicles equipped with these seats should contact Seats Incorporated to arrange for a free repair where dealers will replace the necessary retaining rings.
The passenger flip-up seat can fall while in use because the pivot rod may slide out without the safety clip. This creates a significant risk of falling or impact injuries for anyone sitting in or near the seat.
Dealers will replace the retaining rings free of charge.
