Summary

Special Coverage. The vehicle?s rear-seat bracket could contact the vehicle?s Rear Electrical Center (REC), which can, over time, damage electrical components within the REC enclosure. If damage occurs, the components can melt or overheat, which the customer may detect by a melting odor in the vehicle. Damage could also cause the vehicle?s battery to drain, a no-start condition, or a stall. Dealers are to inspect and if repair is necessary, replace the rear electrical center (REC). Additional repairs to the fuel pump relay wiring may be required. In each case the rear seat bracket will need to be trimmed (Lucerne only). The repairs will be made at no charge to the customer.
