Condition
Some customers may comment that the 60% portion of the second row seat doesn't slide forward when using the "Easy Entry" function.
Cause
This condition may be due to a broken or missing seat recliner stop pin.
Correction
Important
Do not replace the seat frame for this condition.
The recliner stop pin has been made available as a service part. Use the following steps to diagnose the seat and replace the recliner stop pin.
1. Activate the" Easy Entry" lever on the outboard side of the seat. Observe the cable actuator from the inboard side of the seat as the lower cushion
rises (1). As the seat back folds forward, the cable actuator will rotate in an upwards direction and apply tension to the two cables (2). This tension
will release the inboard and outboard seat track locks and allow the seat assembly to move forward in the vehicle.
2. If the cable actuator fails to rotate, the recliner stop pin may be missing. Use the following steps to install a new service recliner stop pin into the
recliner assembly.
1. Remove the rear seat adjuster assembly. Refer to Rear Seat Adjuster Replacement (with 60 Percent Seat) in SI.
2. Locate the cable actuator and the recliner stop pin mounting area.
