Has anyone ever heard of the back of the driver seat breaking off? The support arm that goes up into the back of the seat is no longer attached.
Has there ever been a recall for this?
Help?

Yes I've heard of it, and no, no recall. I think the whole assembly is just spot welded... Might check your local salvage yard for a replacement......
that's a toughy..

Thank you,
Unfortunately the weld held up and the steel tore around it?

then that's a fatigue fracture. Good thing it broke now, and not in a wreck

Yeah, mine did the same thing. I just thought it was me. The metal used in the frames of those seats are pretty flimzy, to put it mildly....
