Description of the problem | I was cleaning my car (stationary in driveway) on 11/3/2019 and noticed a piece of plastic on the floorboard. I looked up to see where it might have came from and noticed the driver seat headrest was separating. I attempted to push the two pieces back together and the headrest fully deployed. Upon inspection i could see that the clip that holds a metal pin had failed. The plastic piece i found was part of this clip. Very grateful i was not driving when this happened. This vehicle is only 4 years old. It is not stored in the heat or sun. Now we get to wait for the eventual failure of the passenger side active head restraint. Safety devices should not cause injury. |
