What's wrong, in plain English

Certain Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain vehicles may have a problem with the driver's seat. A bolt that holds the seat frame in place, allowing it to adjust up and down, may be stripped or loose. If this bolt isn't secure, the seat may not properly hold the driver in place during a crash, which increases the risk of injury.
