Coupe seat recall

On collecting my pure couple yesterday I was informed that my car would be getting recalled soon to carry out a modification to the front seats to fit new motors and gears to speed up rear seat access.
Not seen anything mentioned on this forum has anybody heard similar? seemingly this was straight from LR according to my dealer.....here's hoping!

My order- fuji white sd4 manual coupe,tech pack,xenons,style 6 20's,pano roof,privacy,front fogs,rear camera,folding mirrors,ebony int/ivory headliner,dec delivery.(still waiting!) Collected 14/01/2012
NOW SOLD as of 26/07/14 Very Happy
Now driving Audi SQ5, everything the Evoque should of been.

RE: Coupe seat recall

You would think that it is in the manufacturers interest if they have developed new/updated hardwear that it would be fitted to new builds as soon as possible.
The costs of shipping to dealers and paying them to carry out the mod must be considerable.
Can't believe they thought the current system would be viable long term anyway,maybe that's the part Victoria beckham was involved with the design of Laughing

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

Coupe seat recall

Can't see why they'd pay to do it on delivered cars as its not a safety issue? Doesn't bother me anyway as no one has been in the back of ours yet in 3 months!

Just program the memory seat button to move the seat if you're that bothered.

Now Sold - Small, clean, fun car mainly for me - Sd4 Dynamic Lux - White/Black roof

Still going strong - Big, dirty, fun car mainly for the wife, kids and dog - Disco 4 - Blue (with lots of mud outside, sweets & litter inside)
