The issue
ON VEHICLES PRODUCED AT THE OAKVILLE ASSEMBLY PLANT, THE FORWARD SCREW THAT PROVIDES PART OF THE ATTACHEMENT BETWEEN THE DRIVER'S SEAT BACK ASSEMBLY AND THE SEAT CUSHION FRAME MAY BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO FATIGUE FRACTURE. FRACTURE OF THIS SCREW WOULD PERMIT THE DRIVER'S SEAT BACK TO PIVOT REARWARDS AND COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. CORRECTION: NEW SCREWS WILL BE INSTALLED IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT CUSHION FRAME.
