Seat frame has a fatigue area where the seat is bolted to the frame. Manufacturer was contacted & no recall found.
Seat frame became fatiqued and cracked around area that bolts seat to frame. Very similar to previous the federal safety agency campaign numbers 96v055001-96v055010.
Drivers side seat frame broke, the bolt was attached to frame, and it broke off, causing the chair to rock. Vehicle seat has been repaired by reinforcing the frame with stronger welds.
No summary
Threaded piece of metal welded to the driver's seat track broke causing seat to rock back and forth. Mjs
While braking the driver's side bucket seat broke at the left front mounting bolt/frame bracket under the seat. This caused the seat to have free movement in a rocking type motion while traveling/braking, and accelerating. Seats' free movement feels unsafe, as if just a matter of time until the entire base mount gives way.
