The bracket is operably coupled with at least one of the seatback and the seat base. A rear support assembly is positioned to extend at least partially along the seatback and includes a base operably coupled with the seatback. First and second struts extend downward from the base, and one of the first and second struts is pivotally coupled with a back end of the bracket. An actuator assembly is operably coupled with the base and is configured to move the seatback between the upright position and the reclined position.
