Default Drivers Seat Back loose?

Hi All...

Our 4 year old XC60 seems to have developed some movement in the front drivers powered seat.. (Normal LuxNAV seats, not the r-Design ones)

The backrest moves about 5mm back on the inner side at the lower joint when you sit in it and put a bit of pressure leaning back, at the joint with the lower frame. Around the position 1 shown in the attached diag.

Only started noticing it when braking and feeling the movement forward.
The outer side is fine (maybe 1mm of movement overall), still there with the seat in different positions.

I removed the seat so I could have a look but nothing seems loose, can't see anything broken. Pax side is manual but doesn't have the problem.

Just wondering if it's a bit of wear in the mechanism, but find it hard after only 4 years.

Don't want to take it to the dealer as they made a right mess of changing the SatNav aerial last time... Might look a local specialist, but if it's not something common, other than getting a replacement seat, not sure how far to take this?

Any suggestions appreciated.
