What the notice says today
The defect
The driver’s seat may have a backbone that does not provide adequate protection to the driver in the event of an accident. (Dutch: De bestuurdersstoel heeft mogelijk een rugleuning welke onvoldoende bescherming bied aan de bestuurder tijdens een ongeval.)
The consequence
There is a risk of excessive movement of the backbone in the event of a collision from the rear, which may cause the driver to be dragged out of the car and may result in more serious injuries. (Dutch: Er bestaat een risico op overmatige beweging van de rugleuning bij een aanrijding van achteren waardoor de bestuurder uit de auto kan worden geslingerd enernstiger letsel kan oplopen.)
What will be done
The vehicle owner is asked to make an appointment with a brand dealer. This will replace the frame of the driver's seat backbone. (Dutch: De voertuigeigenaar wordt verzocht een afspraak te maken met een merkdealer. Deze zal het frame van de rugleuning van de bestuurdersstoel vervangen.)
