Details

What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles equipped with the driver preferred package, the wire harness from the driver's seat power lumbar support switch may be routed incorrectly and could be pinched under the driver seat.

Why it matters: A pinched harness, in combination with driving vibration, may result in a short circuit in the harness that could lead to a fire in the seat.

The fix: Dealers will replace the wire harness and route it correctly. The recall began on January 16, 2006.
