Official summary
Pulling up on any of the third row seating legs is not recommended (Figure 1) as this may cause the leg(s) to not fold flat when the seat is in the stowed position (figure 2). If the third row seating leg(s) do not fold flat into the seat, the tension spring on the affected leg(s) will need to be replaced.
Vehicles covered
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
