I'll be drafting a not to Recaro with stats and specifics over the weekend. I don't think they can ignore a 50% failure rate. Well they can butt I hope they don't.

Thanks for indulging me with the request for show of hands.

Only a 50% failure rate among us? I expected it to be much higher. Thanks for taking the lead, Mark

50% reported Jim which I do think warrants attention even if it is not a safety issue...

although my lower back would argue that.

I just now added my name to your afore mentioned polls...I'll add it here to make it easier.

Driver side appears fine, but Passenger side leaks as fast as you fill it.

Sorry about the delay, but add me to the FBS list...

I don't normally use the lumbar supports in any of my cars, so wasn't sure if the S8's worked or not. I tried today while on a road trip. Driver's side pumps up and holds pressure for about 15 minutes, then gradually deflates.
