Default Broken Recaro Recline ****

After having the seat in my car for about 4 months the **** broke and won't recline the seat anymore. I pulled the **** off and discovered that part where the recline shaft attaches to the **** broke. It spun freely inside of the **** instead of staying stationary. Have any of you with recaro SRDs experienced this problem before? Any ideas on how to fix this?

if you bought it new, it should be under warranty.

It happened to me on the first set i bought from a CTR. Just pop the circle lit with a thin flat screw driver. U then see the **** spining with center broken off. Remove **** and the center by unscrewing the center screw. Now u have the broken center and the reclining ****. Align the broken piece with **** so u know what postion it broke off from and then EPOXY IT! Use 5 min epoxy, the A & B mixture type. Let it cure and reinstall it. It works with no problem. I did email Recaro USA about buying parts but they say I had to order it from a Recaro Dealer. Try the Epoxy method, GOOD LUCK

Cool thanks, I'll do that. I just wonder why Recaro constructed the **** like that. Seems like it can break easily.
