Abstract: A vehicle includes a vehicle seating assembly including a seat back and a seat base. A bracket couples the seat base to the seat back, wherein the bracket defines an opening. A fastener retains the bracket to the seat base via the opening. A deformable spacer is positioned about the fastener and within the opening. The deformable spacer is configured to deform in response to a pre-determined force.

Abstract: A vehicle seat suspension assembly includes a rear support for engagement with a torsion tube of a vehicle seat. First and second spring members have end portions engaged with the rear support. Intermediate cushion pan connectors are disposed on each of the first and second spring members. A cross support is coupled with the first and second spring members and includes power and data wiring apertures.

Abstract: A recliner bracket for a vehicle includes a web defining a recliner heart receiving aperture. The recliner heart receiving apertures is operably connected with side supports of a seating assembly and include forward and rearward seat support connection tabs. A deformation notch is disposed on a rear portion of the web and is adapted to collapse under a predetermined loading from a rear collision event.

Abstract: A vehicle including a seat base having a first slide assembly disposed on each of first and second sides of the seat base. A first support column is disposed below the seat base and is positioned between the first and second sides of the seat base. A second support column is disposed below the second side of the seat base. A brace connects the second support column to a transmission hump of the vehicle.

Abstract: A bench seat assembly for a passenger vehicle with a structural floor pan for supporting the bench seat, the bench seat including transversely spaced seat risers, fixed rollers mounted on the risers on each side of the bench seat, the rollers being arranged in pairs on each side of the bench seat in fore-and-aft disposition, the structural floor having fore-and-aft roller wells on each lateral side of the bench seat which receive the rollers when the bench seat is installed. A linear latch mechanism includes a user-actuated member that is coupled to a pair of seat latching hooks on each lateral side of the seat assembly adjacent the rearwardly positioned seat rollers. Anchor elements in the roller wells are engaged by a latch member as the rollers enter the roller wells.
