THESE VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH AN UNUSED POWER SEAT HARNESS CONNECTOR THAT WAS POSITIONED ON THE FLOOR MAT UNDER THE SEAT. IN AREAS WHERE ROAD SALT IS USED, A BRINE MAY ACCUMULATE ON THE FLOOR MATS AND REPEATEDLY WET THE CONNECTOR. THIS COULD CORRODE THE CONNECTOR AND RESULT IN A SALT BRIDGE BETWEEN THE TERMINALS CAUSING CURRENT FLOW WHICH COULD OVERHEAT THE CONNECTOR WITH RESULTANT FUMES AND A POSSIBLE FIRE.rnCORRECTION: UNUSED CONNECTORS WILL BE REMOVED AND SEALED HEAT SHRINK CAPS WILL BE PLACED OVER THE AFFECTED WIRES.
