DETAIL
Vehicles within the above VIN range may exhibit rattles coming from the rear inward facing seats. The source of the rattle is the seat back supporting bracket. A wavy washer fitted between the fixing bolt head and the seat back supporting bracket should hold the supporting bracket firmly.
To overcome this condition a fiat washer has been introduced that fits between the wavy washer and the bolt head. This washer will be fitted by the supplier in the above VIN range, and will prevent any further rattles in this area.
ACTION REQUIRED
Upon customer complaint of a rattle coming from the inward facing seats, fit the fiat washer described in the process below.
