    Slipping recline on Recaro seats
    Cars affected:
    Most cars with Recaro seats

    Symptom:
    The recline adjustment on the Recaros gradually slips back over time requiring readjustment.

    Problem and cure:
    This is a known problem with Recaro seats fitted to the Evo's and most other performance cars featuring Recaro's. The recline adjustment clamp doesn't secure itself correctly which leads to gradual slippage backwards and therefore readjustment every few days.
    There is a fix for it from Recaro that requires the fitting of a replacement base frame. If you have an 'official' Ralliart car then the fix can be arranged if the car is still under warranty, ask your Mitsubishi/Ralliart dealer to contact Darren Hughes at Mitsubishi UK and the replacement parts can be arranged to be fitted. For non official cars or cars outside of the warranty then contact Recaro UK directly to arrange for the parts to be delivered, the car owner will have to arrange fitting.
    Contact Recaro in the UK on 01926 484111.
