Ditto on mine!! . Long motorway journeys allow the passenger seat to recline nicely. If anyone finds a fix.......;)

I've got Cobras in mine which does exactly the same! The Recaro's in my Civic Type R never did this though.

good grief - type "self-reclining recaro" into Google Seems its a very common problem that afflicts Scoobies, EVOs, Fords, VWs and others as well as Coopsters Time to speak with Recaro, I reckon

Yep, I get it on my plus, I thought it was going out of position when I flipped the seats forward for access to the rear seats....maybe not then!

This happens on a lot of seats that adjust with a rotary knob rather than a ratchet and lever, on the rotary type, the knob is prevented from turning without any force (i.e a hand) by a wavey washer and when this washer weakens with age the backrest can work its way back by vibration allowing the geared knob to turn. Hope that makes sense The cure is a new, stronger wavey washer.

Any chance of you doing a how to MrT?
I looked into this a while back and did not come up with any decent conclusion. Recaro were not helpful.
TrimDeluxe offered to have a look, but in the end I did not make the trip down there.
Weirdly mine only do this for a short while, then it stops and maybe a couple of months later comes back again...

I should be able to, I'm taking the seats out to sell in a few weeks time so I could do one then.
