Plastic components in the backrest release mechanism can break when subjected to excess loading. The reason may be that the cable is incorrectly adjusted or the backrest is subjected to excess loading in the forward direction while the handle is lifted. The back of the seat cannot then be folded forward when the release handle is lifted.
In the case of customer complaint, the following procedure must be carried out.
