Service bulletin PIT5170

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary

This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about vehicles that the front and/or rear heated seats are inoperative and/or the driver's power seat only moves in short bursts each time the seat switch is operated. Technician will need to reprogram only the affected module (Memory Seat Module, Rear Heated/Vented Seat Module, or Front Seat Heating Control Module) with updated calibrations in Tis-2-Web.
