Seats - 3RD Seat Back Release System Inoperative
Number: 86-184Section: 10
Date: OCT., 1986
Subject: INOPERATIVE 3RD SEAT BACK RELEASE SYSTEM
Model and Year: 1977-86 IMPALA AND CAPRICE WAGONS
TO: ALL CHEVROLET DEALERS
Some 1977 thru 1986 "B" station wagons are being returned to dealers because of an inoperative 3rd seat back release system.
This condition may be caused by the seat back release cable becoming disengaged from the release handle or the release handle breaking because of high operating efforts.
CABLE ASSEMBLY:
When repairing vehicles with this condition, new improved parts are available from WDDGM. The new parts that make up the seat back release system can not be used with parts from the original system. Therefore, when required, parts from the original system must be completely replaced with new parts. To determine if a system is of the new type, inspect the end of the cable assembly that attaches to the new release handle. A cable that is part of the new system will have an opening that engages the release handle. See illustration.
