SUBJECT:
Replacement Seat Covers And Seat Cover Repairs
OVERVIEW:
This bulletin involves Chrysler Group LLC position in regard to replacement seat covers and seat cover repairs.
DISCUSSION:
Chrysler Group LLC vehicles, systems and components are engineered, tested and manufactured to help protect vehicle occupants based upon
government mandated and internal corporate requirements relative to durability, noise vibration & harshness, occupant protection, and vehicle
safety. Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags provide enhanced protection to help protect an occupant during a side impact. When the
seat-mounted side air bag deploys, it opens the seam between the front and side of the seat's trim cover. Modifications to the seat system, including
the seat cover, may change the way the air bag deploys, which could adversely affect the performance of the Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bag causing serious injury. "Modifications include:
^ Any change to the seat back cover such as material, thread, stitch design, and alterations or misplacement of the features which guide the
deploying air bag into position.
^ Any non-approved seat-cover replacements. Only Authentic Mopar(R) Repair Parts, and approved Mopar(R) accessories such as Katzkin(R)
Leather seat covers, are designed, engineered, manufactured and tested to the Chrysler Group LLC internal and government mandated standards.

or seat cover, where Authentic Mopar Repair Parts or Mopar Accessories are used for Chrysler, Jeep(R), Dodge and Ram vehicles. Any
