Hazard

The rear seat attachment structure is inappropriate. When significant rotational force is applied to the rear seat mounting bolts—such as when weight is alternately applied to the left and right edges of the rear seat—the bolts may loosen. In the worst case, the bolts may come out and the rear seat may detach.
