A latch mechanism includes a latch hook and an anti-chuck latch, the latch mechanism being connected to a removable seat assembly having a seat back movable between an upright and a folded position. When the seat back is in a folded position, the anti-chuck hook of the latch rotates such that the seat may be removed from a striker in the floor of the vehicle. When the seat back is moved from the folded position, a cam is driven to engage a pawl to lock the anti-chuck hook in a position such that the seat may not be removed from the striker bar even when the latch hook is released.
