SUBJECT
Seat Frame Design Change

MODEL
E92 (3 Series Coupe) produced up to May 2007

SITUATION
On early production E92s, the socket which secures the seat backrest release cable to the release mechanism could pull free from the release mechanism.





To reduce the likelihood of this occurrence, in late April 2007, a stud (1) was fitted to the end of the ball on the release mechanism on the inboard side of the seat, which is part of the seat frame assembly.

Due to this design change, if the seat frame assembly is replaced on a car produced prior to May 2007, it is also necessary to replace the release handle and cable assembly. The socket on the end of the new cable will have a hole in it to accommodate the new stud on the release mechanism.
