Recall 1988136

The issue

On certain vehicles, wiring for the power lumbar seat system was routed directly beneath the seat cushion springs on the side of the cushion. This could result in the insulation being abraded by the seat springs resulting in a possible short circuit with the potential for a fire in the cushion pad or trim cover. Correction: Power lumbar seat wiring will be modified and a 15 amp fuse will be added to the wiring under the seat on Aerostars. On Bronco II and Ranger Super Cab vehicles the 30 amp circuit breaker, located in the fuse panel, will be replaced with a 15 amp fuse.

Description (français)

Sur certain véhicules, le chemin des câbles suit le flanc du coussin, directement sous les ressorts. Le frottement des câbles sur les ressorts peut causer l'usure du matériel isolant, et produire un court-circuit qui risque de mettre le feu aux matériaux composant le coussin et à la garniture de ce dernier.
