Hazard

In second-row two-person seats equipped with seatbelts, improper manufacturing of the seat has resulted in incorrect cable adjustment of the reclining mechanism in some units. Consequently, the seatback cannot be securely fixed, and during collision, the seatback may fold forward together with the seatbelt, potentially causing excessive injury to occupants in the worst case.

Remedy

All vehicles will undergo inspection of the reclining mechanism, and cable adjustment will be performed if cable length is insufficient.
