ISSUE
The front seat may feel loose on some vehicles. This may be caused by the outboard front seat mounting floor reinforcement bracket cracking.

ACTION
Install Reinforcement kit (F7AZ-54000A25-AA). If the current reinforcement has cracked all the way to the weld nut, also install the Reinforcement Assembly Bracket (F3AZ-5411338-A). This should reduce the possibility of cracking. Refer to the Instruction Sheet included in the Reinforcement Kit for Service Procedure details.

The Reinforcement Kit (F7AZ-54000A25-AA) includes the following:

^ Two (2) Washers

^ One (1) Nut and Washer Assembly

^ One (1) Instruction Sheet (SK F7AB-54000A25-AA)
