## Other bulletins for the same vehicles and component

- [09\-020\-26](/bulletins/11034437.md), 2026-07-03, Service bulletin: SEATS; STRUCTURE:BODY; UNKNOWN OR OTHER. DESCRIPTION Some vehicles may exhibit scratches \(1\) on the rear of the seat back bar garnish \(2\) from contact with the convertible top \(3\). Due to assembly variations, the clearance between the seat back bar garnish and the convertible top is too small on some vehicles. REPAIR PROCEDURE 6. Install the seat back crossmember assembly from the vehicle according to the instructions on MGSS online or the Workshop Manual \(section 09\-10 SEAT BACK CROSSMEMBER ASSEMBLY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION\). 7. Reinstall the rear seat back bar garnish while twisting the garnish so that the garnish can be kept closer to the seat back bar and away from the convertible top \(for both left and right sides\).
- [09\-035\-24](/bulletins/11005550.md), 2024-08-02, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; SEATS. Some vehicles may experience the seat ventilation system still on after the engine has been turned off, in some cases this causes the battery to be completely discharged and not rechargeable. This is caused by a deterioration in the seat ventilation control unit. To eliminate this concern, the material for the circuit of the seat ventilation control unit has been modified.
- [09\-016\-24](/bulletins/10252372.md), 2024-04-02, Service bulletin: SEATS. Some vehicles may exhibit scratches \(1\) on the rear of the seat back bar garnish \(2\) from contact with the convertible top \(3\).
- [09\-017\-23](/bulletins/10233698.md), 2023-04-04, Service bulletin: SEATS; STRUCTURE. Some vehicles may exhibit scratches \(1\) on the rear of the seat back bar garnish \(2\) from contact with the convertible top. Due to assembly variations, the clearance between the seat back bar garnish and the convertible top is too small on some vehicles.
- [09\-008\-23](/bulletins/10232401.md), 2023-03-04, Service bulletin: SEATS; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Some vehicles may experience the seat ventilation system still on after the engine has been turned off, in some cases this causes the battery to be completely discharged and not rechargeable. This is caused by a deterioration in the seat ventilation control unit. To eliminate this concern, the material for the circuit of the seat ventilation control unit has been modified.
- [08\-001\-23](/bulletins/10232279.md), 2023-03-03, Service bulletin: SEAT BELTS; SEAT BELTS:STATUS INDICATOR SWITCH; FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; SEATS. Some vehicles may turn on the passenger seatbelt reminder, even though there is no passenger seated in the vehicle. This concern may be caused by the passenger sensor being too sensitive. To eliminate this concern, the passenger sensor has been modified.
- [0900616](/bulletins/10213424.md), 2022-06-06, Service bulletin: SEATS; POWER TRAIN. Front power seats do not slide back and forth
- [09\-002/22](/bulletins/10206948.md), 2022-02-04, Service bulletin: SEATS. Some customers may complain about the poor appearance of the seat because the front seat back trim side piping is torn. This is caused by the piping of the front seat back trim rubbing against clothes when passengers get in and out of the vehicle, fraying the seam, and resulting in protrusion of the plastic core wire.
- [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\-024\-21\-3822](/bulletins/10200526.md), 2021-08-24, Service bulletin: SEATS. Some vehicles may exhibit a breakage of the decoration plate \(1\) on the front or rear seat backs. This is caused by the seat back decoration plate not being strong enough. To eliminate this concern, the seatback decoration plates have been modified.
