CHRYSLER CORPORATION recall for seats, reported to NHTSA on Dec 14, 1993, covering about 17,000 vehicles.
The problem
The seat back latch lever pivot rivets are susceptible to distortion. The distorted assemblies allow the seat back release latch lever to remain in the released position which is in non-compliance with FMVSS no. 207, "seating systems."
The risk
In the event of a sudden stop or accident the forces onthe seat back may subject seat occupants to an increased risk of injury.
The fix
Dealers will replace the suspect seat back latch assembly with a revised assembly.
