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.

Maintenance light is on at all times for the forward passenger seat, making airbags useless. Read it can potentially be a wire. It has been reported on other vehicles. Please investigate and recall as passengers will be unsafe and could have great bodily harm with this defect.
