Official summary
Some 2020 Escape vehicles equipped with heated front seats built on or before 14-Feb-2020 may exhibit a bulge in the front seat cushion that the customer describes as uncomfortable. This may be due to wiring for the heated seat. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to replace the heated seat mat on the affected front seat.
Vehicles covered
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.
