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 known problem with Recaro seats fitted to the Evo's and a lot of other performance cars. It is believed that 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 replacement parts. If you have an 'official' Ralliart car then the fix can 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 the warranty then contact Recaro UK directly to arrange for the parts to be delivered, the car owner will have to arrange fitting.
