What is wrong
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE THERMOSTAT REGULATING THE TEMPERATURE OF THE HEATED SEATS WAS INCORRECTLY POSITIONED DURING ASSEMBLY. THIS INCORRECT POSITIONING CREATES THE POTENTIAL THAT THE SURFACE OF THE HEATED SEAT CAN REACH AN UNACCEPTABLY HIGH TEMPERATURE.
What can happen
IN EXTREME CASES, THIS COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO ANY OBJECT IN CONTACT WITH THE SEAT CUSHION.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL INSTALL AN ADDITIONAL TEMPERATURE CONTROL WITH EACH SEAT EQUIPPED WITH HEATING ELEMENTS.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
