## What is wrong

On certain vehicles not equipped with the power seat option, the unused harness connector for the power seat feature is placed directly on the floorboard, underneath the carpeting.  If a vehicle occupant enters the vehicle with a sufficient amount of snow on their feet containing road salt, it is possible for the melted snow mixture to soak the carpet and allow the salt\-water solution to come into contact with the unused power seat harness connector.  As a result, the connector terminal may corrode and allow current to flow, resulting in the gradual heating and melting of the connector.  This could result in a vehicle fire, causing personal injury or death.  Correction: Dealers will relocate the floor harness beneath both the passenger and driver seats to an area above the carpet.
