What's wrong?
The head restraints in the 2015 Dynamax Rev are the padded supports at the top of the front seats. Their job is to sit close enough behind an occupant's head to help limit rearward head and neck movement during a rear impact. Federal safety rules set a maximum backset, which is the distance between the back of the head and the restraint.
On affected Rev vehicles, the head restraints were built with too much backset. The NHTSA filing says they exceed the 55mm limit, so the restraint sits farther back than the standard allows. That spacing reduces how quickly the restraint can support the head when the body moves in a crash.
There is no warning sign before failure. The seat can look normal, and the issue is a measurement problem rather than a part that makes noise, leaks, or triggers a dashboard light.

What happens at the repair
The repair path is a dealer replacement of the front seat head restraints covered by recall 15V397. A Dynamax technician replaces the head restraints so the seats meet the required head restraint position limits. The source filing says the recall began on July 8, 2015, but this record does not list the current remedy status as available. Parts and labor are covered by the recall once the dealer repair is available.
