# Service bulletin 10\-90\-19

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 bulletin announces a design change made to the HVAC control panels for the models listed above. The change will address customer concerns of the seat heater switches sticking in the ?pressed? position but not returning to ?flush? with the face of the control panel when released as shown in the photos below. A series of small air outlets \(vents\) has been added to the assembly to keep dust and dirt from accumulating and causing the switches to bind.
