Summary
Some vehicles, equipped with a 4:2:4 split type rear seat, may exhibit a rattling noise when driving on rough roads. The noise is heard around the latch area of the rear center seat back, as shown below. This concern may be caused by a rubber stopper that has come off the rear center seat back bracket. The seat bracket contacts the striker and causes the noise.The shape of the rubber stopper and center seat back bracket have been changed to eliminate the noise.
