Recall number 99V362000 · Recall details

SeatsReported September 13, 1999 · 5,132 vehicles affected
What is wrong
Vehicle description: passsenger vehicles. Failures of the "easy entry" cable in the front driver or passenger manual seats can cause the seat fore/aft adjustable mechanism to be unlocked.
Risk
Since the anchor points for the lap portion of the front safety belts are attached to the seat assembly, release of the fore/aft locking mechanism reduces the restraint capability of the safety belts in a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will install a new cable and spring assembly.
