Report Received Date: |
June 5, 1974 |
Summary:
|
Ford Campaign No. 123.
Possibility that the front seat back latches achieve only partial
engagement of the latch pawl and seat cushion striker as a result of
mispositioning these latch components during the front seat assembly
process. |
Consequence: |
This condition could result
in the seat back latch releasing under a force less than the load it was
designed to hold, permitting the seat back to fold forward. |
Remedy:
|
Correct by inspecting and
repositioning latches for proper engagements. |
