Quick answer

Due to the industry-wide semiconductor shortage, the front driver and passenger seat cushion ventilation blowers are not functional on certain 2022-2023 model year vehicles listed above, built beginning March 30, 2022. Dealers are to replace the non-functional seat cushion ventilation blower with a functional one. Note: Some vehicles may also require the Heated/Ventilated Seat retrofit which must be performed prior to completing this procedure. Use IVH to verify if the vehicle is involved in the Heated/Ventilated Seats Retrofit (N212354520 or N212354522).

What this bulletin may mean before buying

Treat this as service research, not a verdict on one car. Before you buy, compare this communication with official recall campaigns, model-level owner complaint patterns, and the exact vehicle’s VIN-decoded specifications. A bulletin can help you ask a seller or dealer sharper questions about software updates, known repairs, warranty extensions and service history.
