What is the danger

In vehicles equipped with automatic activation of heated front seats on remote start, occupant pressure on the seat in the same location can over time damage the flexible heating mat inside the seat. In rare cases, this can cause high electrical resistance in the damaged area of the mat.

Requirements breached

As a consequence, areas of the seat subject to high electrical resistance may overheat and could lead to a fire when the vehicle is unattended.
