Hazard
In the seat heater mechanism of the driver and front passenger seats, the thermostat mounted in the seat cushion is installed improperly, causing the cushion surface temperature to exceed the set temperature. This causes the internal heating wire to harden and become damaged. In the worst case, the damaged section may overheat and cause part of the seat surface to char.
