Follow ALL steps as outlined in the full technical instructions to confirm the campaign is completed correctly. Verify Vehicle Eligibility 1. Check the VIN range. 2. Check the TIS Vehicle Inquiry System. Not Covered No further action required. Covered Replace the seat heater assemblies. Campaign Complete. II. BACKGROUND The seat heater assemblies in the covered vehicles do not meet a provision of FMVSS 302 that requires a material not to transmit a flame across its surface at a rate greater than specified. This standard ensures that interior components retard burning. The seat heater assembly is installed inside the seat unit, between the seat cushion and the seat cover pad. These other seat components meet the standard; this noncompliance is related to the seat heater only. 2
