What Happened
The seat hook on your vehicle is a crucial part that keeps your front seat in place. In some 2013-2015 models, this hook might not be properly attached, which could cause the seat to shift around during a crash.
Risk if Unfixed
If the seat isn't secured, you could be at risk of serious injury in a car accident. A loose seat could hit you or someone else, causing harm.
Free Fix
Your dealership will inspect the seat hook and replace the lower seat track if needed – all for free. You'll get a notice when it's time to schedule the repair.
