Here is a common problem with our cars. Some of you probably have heard about this service bulletin, it came out in 2002. Some may have no idea about it or some are wondering how to fix your seatbacks when your out of warranty.

There is a kit sold at Acura that we use. You can purchase it from there. Just note to the parts guy that it is apart of a service bulletin. They should stock the part.

Here is a link to the REAL REPAIR PROCEDURE:

Good Luck.

 

Sweet, i actually need to do that

 

 

Now to get that kit

 

Folks, I just registered as a new user and wanted to get to the pdf but I got link deny page. Is there a waiting period or something?
Thanks,

They refreshed all the pages, so all of the older links died. Now you need to have access (pay for it). I remember printing it out a long time ago, before I even had an account on AZine.

It was a bracket or something that would be installed on the bottom of the seat-backing. Worst case scenario, ask your dealership to print it out for you.

 

my driver side seat does it too....does this apply to the 2005's ?

 

Probably not. I'm 99.99% sure that the entire seats would be different.

Might be a similar fix though.

 

i had it replaced when i had warranty (80K miles back)....it happened again after my warranty ran out but they were charging me an arm and leg to get it fixed....

well i hope they fix it for you fellas...waiting for the pix of the fix...

 

Hi all...I did not see any responses on how to fix the listed issue. I have 2000 TL and the passenger seat back has fallen off. I took it to the dealership and they want $120 to fix it. Any assistance with the fix and parts details will be greatly appreciated.
