Official summary
Some vehicles may exhibit an inoperative seat warmer (or seat heater) on the driver and/or passenger seat. When weight is applied to the seat, part of the heater element wire may come out of position and become bent. Under repeated stress, the wire may break causing an inoperative seat warmer condition.
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
