    My passenger seat does this too. Even though the seat is securely bolted to the frame, the seats are also on runners that slide the seats back and forth. So maybe the shake could be coming from there.

    The shake is coming from where the seat back is bolted to the seat bottom. When it locks in the upright position, there is play in the locking mechanism. I have had it apart and cannot see a way to fix it, unless the part was replaced with one that did not have play.

    This would not be a recall, it would be a TSB, if they recognize it as being a problem, which I doubt will happen. I am going to bring it to the shop and see what they say.

    Thought that tightening the bolts when I took the seat apart during my leather install would solve the problem but it still shakes, only when I'm driving fast around a corner on bumpy roads though. BTW I have Sr5 seats.
