Summary
SOME VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT EXCESSIVE NOISE WHEN OPERATING EITHER FRONT POWER SEAT FORWARD OR BACKWARD. THE NOISE MAY BE CAUSED BY CABLE VIBRATION, WHICH TRANSMITS POWER FROM THE MOTOR TO THE GEARS. THE CABLE VIBRATES INSIDE THE CASE DUE TO INADEQUATE FABRIC WRAPPED AROUND THE CABLE. THE FABRIC THICKNESS HAS BEEN INCREASED TO ELIMINATE THE NOISE.
