The problem
The washers used on the driver's seats with power seat adjustments were missing. Also, a small number of the pedestals may have small cracks in the joint between the base plate and the tube to which it is connected.
The risk
In the event of an accident, the seat may not restrain the occupant increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Dealers will add washers or an integral nut and washer combination, and replace the pedestals with a new assembly.
