Recalls

On certain vehicles not equipped with the power seat option, the unused harness connector for the power seat feature is placed directly on the floorboard, underneath the carpeting.

If a vehicle occupant enters the vehicle with a sufficient amount of snow on their feet containing road salt, it is possible for the melted snow mixture to soak the carpet and allow the salt-water solution to come into contact with the unused power seat harness connector.

As a result, the connector terminal may corrode and allow current to flow, resulting in the gradual heating and melting of the connector.

This could result in a vehicle fire, causing personal injury or death.

Correction: Dealers will relocate the floor harness beneath both the passenger and driver seats to an area above the carpet.
