## NHTSA's summary

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.
