Vans and wagons not equipped with power front seats. In the presence of road salt, water, and possibly other debris, the power seat connector located beneath the driver's seat could develop a high resistive short circuit that cycles the circuit breaker.

If the circuit breaker cycles for an extended period of time, heat could build up in the connector, possibly resulting in a fire.

Owners will receive instructions for removing the circuit breaker from the fuse panel. If an owner desires, their dealer can perform the repair.

The alternator wire connection to the power distribution center (PDC) can loosen.

This could cause a vehicle fire.

Dealers will inspect the installation of the alternator wire connection to the PDC and if necessary, reposition the wire so that the crimp connection will face upward and tighten the fastener to the correct torque setting.
