UPDATE SOFTWARE FOR DYNAMIC/MULTI-CONTOUR SEAT CONTROL MODULES

This Service Campaign has been initiated because DCAG has determined that on the affected vehicles malfunctions may occur in the dynamic/multi-contour seat modules which may result in inflation or deflation of the air cushions without cause. Dealers will update the control module software for the dynamic/multi-contour seats.

Prior to performing this Service Campaign:

Please check VMI to determine if the vehicle is involved in the Campaign and if it has been previously repaired. If necessary, repair the subject vehicle during the vehicle's next service.
Please review the entire Service Campaign bulletin and follow the procedure steps exactly as described.

Please note that Recall and Service Campaigns do not expire and may also be performed on a vehicle with a vehicle status indicator.

Approximately 3,205 vehicles are affected.
