NOTE:
This Service Bulletin applies to models built prior to April 1, 2009 (MDH 0401XX).
DISCUSSION:
When replacing a seat back recliner handle, looseness of the handle on the recliner shaft may be found when using an AD level part on vehicles built prior to April 1, 2009.

The BSR tape will take up any movement in the handle and provide a tight fit (Fig. 1)
PARTS REQUIRED:
NOTE:
1 strip of BSR tape will service 25 to 30 seat recliner handles.
