## NHTSA's summary

EDITOR?S NOTE: This article replaces the one posted in December 2015 to extend the article?s shelf life. The issues covered are still being addressed. Does the front seat\-back creak or squeak when you move around in the seat or get in or out of the vehicle? What?s likely causing it is the seat\-back fabric rubbing against the foam pad underneath. This noise only happens when the seat gets hot \(the seat temperature is over 104° F\).

- [ATS\-150801 V3](/bulletins/10193298.md), 2021-05-14, Service bulletin: EQUIPMENT; SEATS:BARRIERS. Does the front seat\-back creak or squeak when you move around in the seat or get in or out of the vehicle? What’s likely causing it is the seat\-back fabric rubbing against the foam pad underneath. This noise only happens when the seat gets hot \(the seat temperature is over 104° F\). We’re aware of this concern and we’re currently working on a solution, so, at this time, there’s no product improvement available. Until there is, don’t try replacing the seat frame or the seat\-back pad. You won’t get rid of this noise and you just might wind up with a come\-back. Be sure to pass this info along to the service advisor so he or she can inform your customer of the situation.
