Recall 02V307000: Seat Back Recliner Defect

DEFECT: On certain passenger vehicles, some front seat back recliner gear teeth may wear excessively through repeated use, which could cause the seat back to slip partially rearward when force is applied. If this happens while the vehicle is being driven, it could cause a loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash.


REMEDY: Dealers will replace the vehicle's front seat recliner mechanisms. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification is expected to begin during January 2003. Owners should contact Saturn at 1-800-553-6000, Prompt #6.
