## NHTSA's summary

SOME CUSTOMERS MAY COMPLAIN THAT THE PASSENGER\-SIDE SEAT WARMER IS SLOW TO GET WARM, COMPARED WITH THE DRIVER\-SIDE SEAT WARMER. FOLLOWING A CHANGE TO THE SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR, URETHANE PADS WERE ADDED TO THE PASSENGER\-SIDE SEAT CUSHION TO IMPROVE SEATING COMFORT. DUE TO THE ADDITION OF THE URETHANE PADS \(WHICH WERE NOT INSTALLED ON THE DRIVER\-SIDE SEAT\), IT TAKES LONGER FOR THE PASSENGER\-SIDE SEAT TO WARM UP.TO ELIMINATE THIS CONCERN, THE HEATER WATTAGE FOR THE PASSENGER\-SIDE SEAT WARMER HAS BEEN INCREASED. ALSO, THE COUPLER, BOX \(SEAT WARMER CONTROL UNIT\) HAS BEEN CHANGED TO COPE WITH THE INCREASED WATTAGE.

- [0900616](/bulletins/10213424.md), 2022-06-06, Service bulletin: SEATS; POWER TRAIN. Front power seats do not slide back and forth
- [09\-027\-21\-3829](/bulletins/10201774.md), 2021-10-02, Service bulletin: EQUIPMENT; SEATS. Some vehicles \(without power seats\) may exhibit a driver seat that gradually moves down by itself. This concern may be caused when a load, which is applied to the seat during braking, exceeds a certain level that could impact the retaining mechanism of the seat lifter causing the seat to gradually move downward. To eliminate this concern, the play in the lift mechanism gears has been reduced.
- [09\-011\-17\-3339a](/bulletins/10188482.md), 2021-03-08, Service bulletin: EQUIPMENT; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:PROPULSION SYSTEM:CHARGING:CABLE/CORD:ACCESSORY; SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:POWER ADJUST. Some vehicles may exhibit excessive noise when operating either front power seat forward or backward. The noise may be caused by cable vibration, which transmits power from the motor to the gears. The cable vibrates inside the case due to inadequate fabric wrapped around the cable. The fabric thickness has been increased to eliminate the noise.
- [09\-016\-16\-3158](/bulletins/10185905.md), 2021-01-28, Service bulletin: SEATS.

Some vehicles may exhibit excessive operating noise when sliding the driver and/or passenger power seat\(s\) back and forth. The noise may be caused by cable vibration, which transmits power from the motor to the gears. The cable vibrates inside the cable casing due to inadequately wrapped fabric around the cable. To eliminate this concern, the power seat cable has been changed to a type that produces less friction and noise.
- [09\-017\-18\-3437a](/bulletins/10136786.md), 2018-05-14, Service bulletin: SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:SEAT HEATER/COOLER.
