Description of the problem | While driving approx 35 mph, the passenger seat headrest safety device deployed for no reason while my 14 year old daughter was sitting in the front seat. Luckily she was not hurt during the incident. The plastic pieces holding the pin in place failed releasing the headrest. Because the plastic failed, there is no way to reset the headrest as the pin holds it in place. This is clearly a defective component of the headrest safety system. |
