The front power seat motor on the affected vehicles could overheat because of a stuck power seat slide knob, potentially resulting in a fire and increasing the risk of injury.
To fix the issue, dealers will install a bracket for the power seat switch back covers and replace the seat slide knobs, free of charge.
Owners can expect to be notified by mail starting 30 July.
