Hey crew, I just noticed I cannot recline or incline my driver's seat. The reclining lever is stuck meaning it won't engage/lift upward. Any thoughts on what could be the issue? All the other levers work fine.

Update: I fiddled with all the seat adjustments while sitting on the seat and while off the seat. Apparently increasing the height of the seat and then attempting to recline was what helped dislodge the stuck recline/seatback lever. All is working correctly.

Thanks for following up with an answer for the next guy (or me...) :D
