What NHTSA recorded

Vehicle description: 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.

Possible consequence

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. Owner notification began august 27, 2001.
