ABSTRACT:
A seat recliner for use in a seat assembly having a seatback supported for pivotal movement relative to a seat bottom. The seat recliner includes a housing secured to the seat bottom and a recliner rod having a first end secured to the seatback and a second end supported for sliding movement relative to the housing. The seat recliner also includes a recline latch assembly having a locking pawl which is releasably latched to a stop pin extending from the housing for pivotal movement between a locked position engaging the recliner rod and a released position displaced from the recliner rod. A biasing arrangement normally biases the locking pawl toward its locked position, and a recline actuator can be selectively actuated for moving the locking pawl from its locked position to its released position. The seat recliner further includes a dump latch assembly for releasably latching the locking pawl against the stop pin so as to locate the locking pawl in a predefined memory position relative to the housing, and a dump actuator for selectively actuating the dump latch assembly to release the locking pawl from latched engagement with the stop pin.
