2015 VOLKSWAGEN JETTATransport Canada Recall #2014469
The official notice
Defect
On certain vehicles equipped with manual front seatback recliners, the retaining bracket may have been improperly assembled and may not engage correctly. This could cause the seatback to shift fore and/or aft with minimal effort. Should this movement occur unexpectedly with the driver's seatback, it could startle the driver and lead to a crash. In a crash, if the movement occurs on either seat, this could increase the risk of personal injury to the driver and/or front passenger occupant.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the seatback recliner retaining bracket, and if found out of specification, it will be corrected.
