The problem
The wire harness on these seats is banded to the front seat cushion supports. The end of one of the supports can puncture the harness, resulting in a high resistance electrical short.
The risk
Overheating can result, and melting, smoke and possible ignition of the surrounding materials can occur.
The fix
Dealers will remove the tie strap from each of the front seats.
