What Happened
Your vehicle's front seats have a bracket that holds them in place. In some 2013-2015 models, this bracket wasn't welded properly, which could cause the seats to shift during a severe crash.
Risk if Unfixed
If the seat doesn't stay in place, you or your passengers could get hurt in a serious accident.
Free Fix
Your dealer will inspect the bracket and fix or replace the lower seat track if it's not properly welded, all at no cost to you.
