Sequence 20L Swivel Seats very diffiecult to rotate
One of the first things I found on my new Sequence was that the swivel seats were extremely hard to turn. I struggle and struggled, but found after much effort they just did not get better with copious amounts of lubrication. I decided to dis-assemble and see what the problem was. So I found that the swivels and base are after market parts made by Lippert Components and not OEM from Dodge. The swivel design has a number of issues and there is manufacturing issues that also contribute to the swivel being difficult to operate. There is no part number for the seat and when I called Lippert they indicated they could not provide any support. I did more research on the Lippert site and they have nothing on a swivel seat like the one I have. I did find a Technical Service Bulletin from 2019 that identifies a different swivel seat they made that must be replaced due to insufficient welds. I cannot find anything on my particular swivel seat, but now I am a little nervous about the mechanical safety of the seat I have. Will investigate further and report. Has any one else had similar issues and how are your seats working for you?
