Passenger seat acts diff than my driver?

I had passenger and the seat didn't recline as much as it would in comparison to the driver side. Like, I can decline and recline my driver side all the way - but on my passenger, I can decline all the way but when I try to recline to an unconformable position, it would stop at the seat belt level and it wouldn't go further.

Is this behavior normal? The dealer saw no errors in code or systematic issues. I don't see anything wrong mechanically or see anything stuck under. It works fine but still scratching my head why it would be different. The seat moves up and done fine when I lift the top notch to get the passengers to seat on my Coupe.

So let me know if your coupe does the same thing or I should take to dealer.

Try to recycle the seats.

Repear on the seat backs.

Make sure your rear seats are fully closed. When they're down, or not latched securely, the passenger seat will only recline so much.

It took me forever to figure that out the first time it happened

Exactly what is "fully closed"? I've tried to "recycle" the seats by declining all the way and reclining it back up but it didn't help. I would like to know how I can fully down, securely latched... Thanks!

Release your rear seat back using the levers in the trunk.
Go in the door, pull the seat belt out to the side and firmly return them to the upright position and then pull on them to insure they are latched.
Sometimes they will latch but the hook finger of the latch does not travel far enough to set the latched so you can push on it and that can fix it.

I released my rear seats using the latch in the trunk on my coupe and re-seated them securely, also made sure the seat belt is pulled all the way up... then went to see if I can "reset" by moving the passenger seat all the way up and back but it didn't help. I don't think there is anything stuck that is preventing it from inclining since the chair moves fine when I pull the chair for passenger entry on my coupe.

I am going to see if I can try few more times later and see if it changes anything ... if not, I am going have to take it to the dealership. Last time when I was at the dealership, they said no error codes were found. Is there a fuse or any way for me to reset the memory on the seats? Thanks guys!

There is no fuse issue here as the seat functions all work. As I understand the problem they are not working through their full range. They would not work if there was a fuse issue because there would be no power to the seat. I suspect there is a limit sensor moved or failed and the dealer guys are best to diagnose that IMHO.
