dial (dual?) reclining
elektrisch verstellbare Sitzlehne(n)


Explanation:
I think dual can be excluded here in any case. As far as the back rests of the seats are adjusted, "elektrisch verstellbare Sitzlehnen" seems to be OK here, esp. because this is performed means of a "dial" (Drehknopf, see Gunter's answer).

Example sentence(s):
  • The dial is pushed in to release the seat for reclining, but the dial is interconnected with the seat so that the dial maintains full control of the seat movement.

Lehneneinstellung mit Drehbeschlag


Explanation:
Der korrekte Teminus fuer Drehknopf in der Automobilindustrie lautet Drehbeschlag. Wird hauptsaechlich in Deutschland verwendet, weil sicherer als Sitzhebelverstellung (USA)
"Dial" ist definitiv korrekt.
