Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Recaro seat-back won't hold position?

I went to a Nissan dealer today for a wheel alignment and oil change, and asked the service tech if he ever heard of the issue with the Recaros needing the seat back adjusted regularly.

He said he owned a Nismo himself and his Recaro seat does the exact same thing. He actually laughed a bit, saying I'm the first one he's ever had mention it but his definitely does it. And on top of that, his brother had one where the passenger seat did it but not the drivers' side.

Judging by the randomness of who said it did or didn't happen to them on their Nismos when I asked on a Facebook group for the 370z? I have a feeling this might actually be a defect in the design of the seats, but it's widespread enough so people (like dealership service staff) who sit in enough of them just assume it's a normal "Recaro thing".
