Dealer installed mine for free (97 Explorer), I took it in for a tensioner
recall and when they notice the recline lever broken he explained to me
about the "fragile" metal used in manufacture of the part. He told me that
he would take care of it "at no charge".

As far as I know there was no recall on it. Correct me if I'm wrong.

This one is for the Bolt. Had it done over a year ago. What broke now is the
handle you use to set the recline position of the seat. When it breaks you
need to replace the whole mechanism.

Same here on my '98 EB AWD, took it in for the seat lever recall and the
dealer replaced my handle because it was bent. Note the new lever is
beefier (thicker steel and reinforced) then the old one, and must have
been updated/upgraded because it's solid as a rock. I even tried
bending the new one and no go, so it should last the life of the vehicle )

Good luck,

Steven

I already ordered one as I had the explorer in to replace the seat bolt and
the dealer called me to tell me they will do the timing tentioner. He didn't
mention the mechanism.
