ISSUE

The front leather seats may prematurely wear or wrinkle on some vehicles. This may be caused by the seat cover sticking to the foam cushion.

ACTION

Replace the leather seat cover with a revised seat cover which includes angel hair to be placed between the cover and foam cushion. The angel hair allows the leather cover to slide with the occupant on the foam cushion, reducing the possibility of premature wear. Refer to the text for details.





For concerns of front leather seats wearing or wrinkling prematurely, use the appropriate service Seat Cover Kit (listed in the Parts Block), and obtain locally seven (7) hog rings per seat. Follow instructions (SK F85B-16A091-AA) included in the kit.
