Body and Accessories).
Important
Implementation of this service bulletin by all dealers requires prior District Service Manager (DVM) (in Canada, the Warranty Manager)
approval.
Condition
Some customers may comment on excessive lint accumulation on the cloth seat material. Darker colored seat fabric seems to show the condition more
than lighter fabrics.
Cause
The source of the lint accumulation is not the seat fabric material. The seat material, though, exhibits a tendency to accumulate and retain lint from
sources that come into contact with the fabric.
Correction
Important
All seats will need to be updated in the vehicle. Let customers with RPO 19D know that the appearance of the insert material will be noticeably
different.
If the customer has ebony colored cloth seats, replace the seat covers (back and cushion), the headrests and the armrests with revised fabric. Refer to SI
for the appropriate seat back and cushion cover, headrest and armrest replacement procedures.
