Summary
15643 – SPECIAL COVERAGE. ON THESE VEHICLES, THE WIRE HARNESS CONNECTOR FROM THE SEAT SIDE AIRBAG AND BUCKLE TENSIONER TO THE BODY HAS A DESIGN INTERFERENCE BETWEEN THE VERTICAL ADJUST CROSSBAR AND THE CARPET. WHEN THE SEAT IS MOVED FORWARD OR BACK, THE CONNECTOR MAY BE DRAGGED ALONG THE CARPET, PULLING TERMINALS LOOSE OR PULLING THE CONNECTOR APART. THIS WILL CAUSE A DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE TO BE SET AND THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL BE ILLUMINATED. DEALERS ARE TO REPLACE THE AFFECTED HARNESS CONNECTION WITH A SOLDERED CONNECTION.
