The short version

General Motors LLC reported a problem with the front assembly power adjust. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The wiring harness for the power seat may contact the seat frame which may chafe the harness.

WHY IT MATTERS

If the harness is chaffed enough to expose the wires, a short circuit could occur, resulting unintended movement of the seat, the seat to become inoperative, sparking under the seat, flickering lights, smoke, or possibly a fire.

WHAT TO DO

GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the wire harness and repair and secure it as necessary, free of charge.
