DESCRIPTION

A rattle noise may be heard from the passenger seat back when the seat is unoccupied. This noise is caused by the seat back pivot bushing. The design of
the bushing has changed to prevent rattle, looseness and reduce wear. Customers complaining of this noise should have the seat back frame assembly
replaced according to the instructions in this bulletin.
