What NHTSA recorded

The power seat or recliner wiring harness can be pinched or can chafe on the seat frame or spring support rod, wearing through the wire insulation and causing an electrical short.

Possible consequence

The high current caused by the electrical short welds thecircuit breaker elements together in the closed position, leaving the circuitunprotected and generating sufficient heat to burn the wire insulation andignite the seat cushion material.

Remedy

Repair any abraded wiring and reroute the wiring harness using a wiring harness clip.
