| Description of the problem | I want to notify you about a safety issue regarding the front passenger seat of the 2014 hyundai equus ultra. When the back seat passenger pushes the recline button on the right rear passenger seat controls, the front seat starts to collapse. What happens is the front passenger seat starts to move forward with the back of the seat moving in a collapsing motion pinning the front seat passenger against the dashboard. There should be a safety switch that deactivates the recline control of the back seat when someone is sitting in the front passenger seat. Please take immediate action to have hyundai correct this problem before someone suffers serious injury. |
