Recall 92V124000: Seat Wiring Harness Chafed

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. THE HIGH CURRENT CAUSED BY THE ELECTRICAL SHORT WELDS THE CIRCUIT BREAKER ELEMENTS TOGETHER IN THE CLOSED POSITION, LEAVING THE CIRCUIT UNPROTECTED AND GENERATING SUFFICIENT HEAT TO BURN THE WIRE INSULATION AND IGNITE THE SEAT CUSHION MATERIAL. REPAIR ANY ABRADED WIRING AND REROUTE THE WIRING HARNESS USING A WIRING HARNESS CLIP.

SYSTEM: INTERIOR: SEATING.

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER CARS WITH 6 WAY POWER SEATS OR POWER RECLINERS.
