The problem
The lock plate of the driver side inboard seat track adjusters were manufactured with an unauthorized modification to the fabrication process which causes the seat not to fully engage in certain seating positions near the mid-point of the seat track travel.
The risk
In the event of a crash the seat can move, which would result in reduced occupant protection.
The fix
Dealers will replace the driver side inboard seat track.
