Official summary
Some customer may complain of warping on the driver and/or passenger side seat cushion trim, which may cause poor appearance complaints. This is caused by a gap between the leather seat surface and the seat cushion pad due to insufficient tension on the seat trim. To eliminate this concern, a non-woven fabric has been attached to the backside of the seat trim to increase tension.
Vehicles covered
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.
