Details

What's wrong: The seat cover trim material does not meet the flammability requirements of fmvss no. 302, "flammability of interior materials."

Why it matters: If an ignition source were present, a vehicle interior fire can occur.

The fix: Dealers will replace the covers on the front seat backs, rear seat cushion and rear seat back assemblies.
