SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:RECLINER
SEAT BACK ADJUSTMENT LEVER FRAYS SEAT BELT. THE LEVER THAT IS USED TO RELEASE THE SEAT BACK FOR ADJUSTMENT OFTEN CATCHES THE SEAT BELT MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO PUT ON. PULLING ON THE BELT HAS CAUSED THE BELT TO FRAY SLIGHTLY. I SWAPPED THE LEVERS SIDE-FOR-SIDE CORRECTING THE PROBLEM. AS ORIGINALLY INSTALLED, THE DRIVERS LEVER WAS LABELED R AND THE PASSENGER LEVER WAS LABELED L. I BELIEVE THEY WERE INCORRECTLY INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY. *AK
