Official summary
This is a Technical Information Notice sent to dealers. It addresses the slight intermittent movement in the vehicle's driver side power seat. The notice refers dealers to TSB-17-52A-003 if vehicle was built before production dates 03/01/2016 (2.4L) and 03/03/2016 (3.0L). The vehicles after these production dates already have the countermeasure part. A DPSM PWA is required for replacement of the driver seat adjuster on affected vehicles.
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
