Consumer Description

FRONT DRIVERS SEAT DISPLAYED AN INCREASING WOBBLE FROM ABOUT MID OCT 1999. WHEN THE WOBBLE WORSENED, I ATEMPTED TO TIGHTEN THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT ANCHOR BOLTS (WHERE SEAT ASSEMBLY ATTACHES TO SEAT FRAME STRUCTURE). AT THAT TIME I FOUND THAT THE FRONT STRUCTURAL CROSS MEMBER OF THE DRIVERS SEAT HAD SHATTERED AT THE MOUNTING BOLT DISPLAYING SEVERE FATIGUE FAILURE. IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR THERE IS HIGH PROBABILITY OF THE SEAT DISLODGING OR COLLAPSING DUE TO COMPROMISED STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY.
