1 Front Seat Head Restraint problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2003

1. Chronic condition; ergonomic injury caused by head rest design. 2. Front head rest are designed with a significant forward tilt. This is not adjustable. For shorter than average drivers, the forward bulge forces the head into a flexed (chin down) position that is very uncomfortable, causes chronic neck and head pain, and can restrict vision. 3. The only safe "fix" available is to add a thick backrest to the seat, to negate the bulge. Alternatively, drivers may reverse the head rest or even remove it, severely compromising crash safety (subjecting drivers and passengers to whiplash injuries).
