Official summary
EDITOR?S NOTE: This article replaces the one posted in December 2015 to extend the article?s shelf life. The issues covered are still being addressed. Does the front seat-back creak or squeak when you move around in the seat or get in or out of the vehicle? What?s likely causing it is the seat-back fabric rubbing against the foam pad underneath. This noise only happens when the seat gets hot (the seat temperature is over 104° F).

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.
