The problem

These vehicles have oversized bolt holes in the floor pan which may allow the seat attaching nuts to pass through them and thus tighten against the bottom of the seat base instead of the longitudinal sill.
The fix
Dealer will install a steel reinforcement plate on the bottom surface of the longitudinal sill, at no cost to owner.
