What's wrong?
The XO Love Seat in 2024-2025 Storyteller Overland Mode Xo vehicles is the seat assembly that anchors passengers to the vehicle floor. Its floor mounting system is supposed to hold the seat structure in place under load, so the seat stays fixed when the vehicle stops, turns, or hits a bump.
On affected Mode Xo vehicles, the floor mounting system was built with improper welds and fasteners. That means the brackets and attachment points do not hold as designed during seat load testing. If those welds or fasteners give way, the seat assembly can loosen or detach from the floor mounting system.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner is not expected to hear, feel, or see a clear symptom before the mounting system fails, so the VIN check and dealer inspection matter.

What's the safety risk?
A loose or detached second-row seat assembly increases injury risk because the seat is not secured as intended. If your VIN is included, schedule the seat inspection promptly and avoid using that seat until the brackets and fasteners are checked. Repair is free at any franchised Storyteller Overland dealer.
