Front Seat Recliner problems of the 1998 Toyota Avalon

My car was stopped and then hit directly in the back by a vehicle going approx. 45 miles per hour. On impact, the passenger front seat fully reclined resulting in injury to occupant and if there was an occupant on that side in the rear seat, that occupant would have had crushed legs. Toyota needs to know that this is a problem. Occupant suffers back muscle injury from defect. Bigger injuries could have resulted if someone else was in the rear passenger seat.
