I WAS PARKED WAITING FOR A RIDER TO GET IN THE VEHILCE. THE DRIVER'S SEAT SNAPPED BACK( SEAT BELT WAS ON). THANK GOD I WAS NOT DRIVING AS IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. UPON INSPECTION OF THE SEAT THE HOLDING BOLT SHEARED OFF WITH PART OF THE BOLT STIOO IN THE SEAT HINGE BRACKET. THERE ARE TWO BOLTS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HINGE AND 1 BOLT ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE. THE BOTTOM BOLTS ON EITHER SIDE ALLOW THE SEAT TO PIVOT (FORWARD OR BACKWARD).
