The Problem: The rear bench seat frame may contact and damage the wiring harness for the fuel pump, fuel tank pressure sensor or fuel level gauge, resulting in an engine stall and increasing the risk of a crash.
The Fix: Dealers will modify the routing of the affected wiring harness and repair it, as necessary, for free.
