Plain-English summary

Adventive Ideas, LLC is recalling certain aftermarket heated seat covers, model number 6HCSCBL24, with manufacturing batch codes 20910B, 21009A, and 21010B. These products were produced from September through October 2010 and sold for use in various motor vehicles. The recall was initiated due to multiple changes in material, process, and quality control procedures that made the product unstable and prone to overheating.

Owners are instructed to retain the switching cable, as a new one will not be sent with the replacement seat cover.
