{"source":"tc","country":"ca","campaign":"2005012","date":"2005-01-19","owner_notified":null,"manufacturer":null,"component":"Seats And Restraints","summary":"Certain vehicles equipped with the comfort seats option may have a seat heater element that can malfunction when the ignition switch is in the \"ON\" position and the seat heater switch is also \"ON\".  If this happened, the seated occupant may experience excessive heat in this location.  The heating mat could damage, or melt a small hole in the seat.  If this were to occur, an electrical/melting smell or small amount of smoke would be noticeable.  In some cases, the small hole in the seat could damage the seated occupant's clothing.  In rare instances, this could lead to a minor or superficial skin injury.  Correction: Dealers will modify the driver's seat heater by installing an electrical repair kit and will install a new passenger side seat heater switch.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"VV, VZ","part_number":null,"units":108501,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety TC","french":{"component":"Sièges et dispositifs de retenue","notification":"Sécurité - TC","summary":"L'élément chauffant (du siège) de certains véhicules équipés des siège confort optionnels pourrait mal fonctionner lorsque la clé de contact est en position ON et que l'interrupteur du siège chauffant est aussi en position ON. Si cela se produisait, la personne assise sur le siège pourrait ressentir une chaleur excessive à cet endroit. L'élément chauffant pourrait endommager le siège ou y percer un petit trou. Si cela se produisait, on remarquerait une odeur de fil chauffé ou d'objet fondu ou la présence d'un peu de fumée. Dans certains cas, le petit trou percé dans le siège pourrait endommager les vêtements de la personne assise sur le siège. Dans de rares occasions, ce problème pourrait provoquer une blessure mineure ou superficielle à la peau.
