Summary
SOME VEHICLES (WITHOUT POWER SEATS) MAY EXHIBIT A DRIVER SEAT THAT GRADUALLY MOVES DOWN BY ITSELF. THIS CONCERN MAY BE CAUSED WHEN A LOAD, WHICH IS APPLIED TO THE SEAT DURING BRAKING, EXCEEDS A CERTAIN LEVEL THAT COULD IMPACT THE RETAINING MECHANISM OF THE SEAT LIFTER CAUSING THE SEAT TO GRADUALLY MOVE DOWNWARD. TO ELIMINATE THIS CONCERN, THE PLAY IN THE LIFT MECHANISM GEARS HAS BEEN REDUCED.
