ABSTRACT:
A vehicle seat assembly comprises a lower support frame with a seat back frame pivotally connected to the lower support frame. The back frame includes a headrest portion with an aperture formed therethrough. First and second recliner brackets are secured to the lower support frame between the lower support frame and seat back frame, and each recliner bracket forms a slot therein. A seat dump mechanism includes a lever extending from the aperture with first and second cables operatively connected to the lever. First and second lock-pins are operatively connected to the cable and selectively movable between the first position in which the first and the second lock-pins are engaged within the first and second slots, and a second position in which the first and second lock-pins are disengaged from the first and second slots such that the back frame is disengaged from the recliner to allow pivotal movement of the back frame with respect to the lower support frame. The release lever is positioned within a lever housing which is loosely fit within the aperture in the headrest portion to facilitate disengagement of the lever housing from the aperture in a high energy impact.
