Many thanks to those that replied.
FYI. The seat foams were replaced a month or two back before my vacation trip
and all was fine and clean at that point. Never actually inspected the teeth
that closely at the time. But I don't recall anything untoward looking.
I suspect the mechanism due to the symptoms - I can release the lever and it
allows movement and sort of locks but then, with that force exerted upon
acceleration, it slips.

Subject: Seat reclining mechanism
On Saturday my drivers seat suddenly stopped working properly. Not fun when you
accelerate off at the lights and the seat back reclines on you.
I assume that the teeth on the mechanism or the bit that engages in the teeth
has worn out. I still have to pull the seat and see exactly, but does anybody
know if these are replaceable parts or is there a solution (apart from having
it welded or bolted in a fixed position)?
