1 Front Seat Recliner problem

Failure Date: 05/31/2006

Recently we were hit by a pickup truck while stopped on the interstate. We were stopped due to another accident ahead. Both driver and passenger seats broke at the tilt point and collapsed backward onto the rear seat, narrowly missing our 31 month old child and his car seat. The driver seat did make contact with the car seat, but was deflected due to the strength of the car seat. I find it hard to believe that the seats are designed to collapse. Why did our seats fail?.
