### Condition

Some owners may comment that the passenger right front seat rattles when unoccupied. This condition may be most noticeable when the seat track is positioned in the middle of its forward/rearward travel.

### Correction

Loosen the bolts that attach the rear of the seat track to the floor and spread the rear of the inboard and outboard tracks as far apart as possible. While in this spread apart position, tighten the attaching bolts to 40 N·m (30 lb ft).
