Recaro made seats that we had in our 737's at Alaska Airlines. Maybe it is just their automotive seat division going bankrupt?

So now Recaro is !@#$  Prices for used seats just went through the roof.

Glad I got mine when I could. 

Scheel-Mann seats are just as good or better than Recaro.  I wouldn’t hesitate to buy them as a substitute.

Recaro as a brand may end.

However, I believe the products will show up under a different name.

No more royalties for Recaro?

Hmmmm.

Sounds like this is more of a debt restructuring thing than a closing.  I think something may be lost in the translation.

At the prices those seats pull, I would never have been a customer of them anyway.  But I'm sad to see these sorts of businesses fail.

1968 T-code Coupe with a 302.  Nice car, no show stopper for sure, but I like it.
