ISSUE
Some 2005-2006 Freestyle, Five Hundred, and Montego vehicles built through 11/22/2005 may exhibit a non-functioning heated driver's seat. This may
be due to seat cushion heater harness becoming trapped between the track torsion bar and the cushion when the seat is in the rear tilt full down position.
This may cause the solder joint at the seat heating pad to separate.
ACTION
Replace seat pad with new part and reposition harness. Refer to the Service Procedure.
