Official summary
This bulletin announces a change made to the leather front seat cushion covers to address isolated concerns of a sagging/loose fitting condition after an occupant leaves the seat as shown in the example photos below. A pattern revision was made to increase tension of the cover material and decrease the time it takes for the condition to disappear after an occupant leaves the seat.
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.
