ABSTRACT:
A vehicle seat assembly includes a seat track or lower seat frame, and a seat back pivotally connected with respect to the seat track. A recliner mechanism is secured between the seat back and seat track for adjusting the angle of the seat back with respect to the lower seat track. A damper mechanism is secured between the seat back and seat track. The recliner mechanism is disengageable in a high energy impact, thereby allowing the damper mechanism to dissipate energy as the seat back pivots with respect to the seat track.
