SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:RECLINER
WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, MY 8 YEAR OLD SON WAS SITTING IN A CHILD BOOSTER SEAT IN ONE OF THE 2ND ROW REMOVEABLE CAPTAIN'S CHAIRS. HE LIFTED HIS LEFT FOOT WHICH CAUGHT ON THE SEAT RELEASE MECHANISM. THIS ACCIDENTALLY DISENGAGED THE MECHANISM THAT LOCKS THE CHAIR TO THE FLOOR. THE CHAIR'S LOCK RELEASED AND THE CHAIR WAS NO LONGER SECURED TO THE FLOOR. WE HAD TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND RELATCH THE SEAT. THE LATCH IS DIFFICULT TO ENGAGE BUT VERY EASY TO DISENGAGE. THERE IS NOTHING THAT PROTECTS THE MECHANISM FROM ACCIDENTAL RELEASE. MR
