Defect
The interior trim material on the right side of the driver's seat back and the left side of the front passenger's seat back was made from an inappropriately selected surface material. During flammability testing, the material propagates flame at a rate faster than the specified limit and therefore does not conform to the Safety Standards.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the driver's side and front passenger's side seat back trim covers with corrected/revised parts.
