What’s wrong with it?
The notice gives no hazard in a field of its own.
INCREASED RESISTANCE IN THE SYSTEM WIRING CONNECTORS DUE TO THE POSSIBLE PRESENCE OF LACQUER, PLASTIC RESIDUE ON THE PINS AND IMPERFECT PIN DIAMETERS, MAY CAUSE IGNITION MISFIRING AND, IN EXTREME CASES, INTERMITTENT STALLING.

What should you do?
DEALER WILL INSPECT AND INSERT CONTACT PIN SLEEVES DESIGNED TO SCRAPE ANY LACQUER OR UNWANTED RESIDUE AWAY. THIS WILL PRODUCE HIGHER CONTACT PRESSURE WITHIN THE CONNECTOR AND IMPROVE THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION.

What the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
