4 Seats problem

Failure Date: 07/15/2017

A few years ago one of the 3rd row seats got stuck in the upright position after putting it from down to up. I have never had it fixed as it hasn't been a huge inconvenience. I saw today that there was a recall on the middle row seat for something (which I do not believe affects my car) and thought I would document my issue in case there are others that have the same issue. Thank you.
