The defect
Bugatti is recalling certain 2017-2018 Chiron vehicles. The front seat recliner brackets may not be welded properly, which can cause the back of the seat to move unexpectedly, affecting the driver's seating position.
The risk
If the driver's seating position changes unexpectedly, it could increase the risk of a crash.
