Vehicle report
Technical service bulletins are instructions a manufacturer sent its dealers about a known fault. They are not recalls and the work is usually not free, but they are the clearest signal of a problem the manufacturer already knows about.

ServiceNews Article - When removing and installing a cable reel, you need to keep both the cable reel and the steering angle sensor in position.

EDITOR?S NOTE: This article replaces the one posted in December 2015 to extend the article?s shelf life. The issues covered are still being addressed. Does the front seat-back creak or squeak when you move around in the seat or get in or out of the vehicle? What?s likely causing it is the seat-back fabric rubbing against the foam pad underneath. This noise only happens when the seat gets hot (the seat temperature is over 104° F).

Does the front seat-back creak or squeak when you move around in the seat or get in or out of the vehicle? Whats likely causing it is the seat-back fabric rubbing against the foam pad underneath. This noise only happens when the seat gets hot (the seat temperature is over 104° F). Were aware of this concern and were currently working on a solution, so, at this time, theres no product improvement available. Until there is, dont try replacing the seat frame or the seat-back pad. You wont get rid of this noise and you just might wind up with a come-back. Be sure to pass this info along to the service advisor so he or she can inform your customer of the situation.
