What is wrong
EXCESSIVE HEAT MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO THE VEHICLE FLOOR PAN IN THE REAR SEAT AREA. THIS OCCURS BECAUSE THE MUFFLER HEAT SHIELD WAS OMITTED DURING MANUFACTURE OF CERTAIN FLEET CARS. REAR SEAT CUSHIONS MAY BE SCORCHED BY HEAT.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
HEAT SHEILDS ARE BEING SENT DIRECTLY TO FLEET OWNERS, WHO MAY EITHER INSTALL THEM PERSONALLY OR ARRANGE FOR DEALER INSTALLATION.

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.
