NHTSA recall 92V124000
Seats · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The power seat or recliner wiring harness can be pinched or can chafe on the seat frame or spring support rod, wearing through the wire insulation and causing an electrical short.
Why it matters: The high current caused by the electrical short welds thecircuit breaker elements together in the closed position, leaving the circuitunprotected and generating sufficient heat to burn the wire insulation andignite the seat cushion material.
The fix: Repair any abraded wiring and reroute the wiring harness using a wiring harness clip.
