SEATS
MY RESEARCH FROM 3 DEALERS SHOW THAT THEY MODIFY THIS PART TO PREVENT FAILURE, AND THAT THE FAILURE RATE IS 96 TIMES GREATER THAN OTHER MODELS. I HAVE DEALER PART# AND UNITS SOLD FROM THE SMALL LOCAL DEALERS. I FEEL THAT RESEARCH WILL PROVE THAT IN LARGER DEMOGRAPHIC AREAS THAT THIS PART NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR POOR DESIGN.
