Recall 92V055000: Driver's Seat Cushion Damper

The vehicle failed to comply with FMVSS 208. The driver's chest resultant acceleration exceeded the allowable 60 G's in a crash test when the seat height changes adjustment under severe frontal impact. The driver of a vehicle faces increased risk of injury in the event of a sudden stop or accident.

Install a damper on the underside of the driver's seat cushion, between the cushion frame and the seat track. In a severe frontal impact the damper will hydraulically lock, preventing a change in seat height.

SYSTEM: INTERIOR SYSTEMS: FMVSS 208.

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER CAR, MODELS 325I AND 325IA.
