I've tried searching this already, but couldnt find an exact answer.

My drivers side seat near the door side is ripping like crazy and I saw a post, and the person said that that is a recall. Is this true?

I am not under warranty anymore, so I wanted to know if I could take this to infiniti and they would replace it.

Thanks

 

I believe i posted in that thread. One member said his 05' was covered under recall, i have that problem with my 04' so i hope its covered but i didnt find any info online

 

There is no recall on them, but people have gotten th bottom cushion replaced when they were still in the warranty period

 

its a TSB but i think it is only on the driver side

i got mine replace a a month or so ago!
had a tiny rip on my driver side. they replaced the bottom leather

 

can you post a link to the actual TSB, I can't seem to find it!

 

So do they have to replace my bottom leather piece?
I am not under warranty.

 

if your not under warranty then its no good for you.
your best bet is buy some used leather at the market place and get yours replaced. ive seen some for sale for a few weeks now

Wow never knew that. I am printing out the service bulletin and taking it to Infiniti. Only thing is I just lowered my car and I swear they have the biggest speed bump. More like speed curbs

 

On the topic of driver's seat, does the bottom cushion heat up considerably like the upper (back) part of the cushion? I don't seem to feel anything in that cushion, but when I sat in my friend's Honda element and turned on the seat warmers I burnt my a$$ lol. Just curious, I'm gonna try out the passenger side today and see if I can feel anything on my bum on that side.

 

+1, its a wear and tear part...if youre in warranty its covered, if not you need to buy new leather or take it into an upholstery shop for repair. im pretty sure that there is no tsb.

 

hmm. wonder if this is worth an extended warranty purchase.. (bc id have to get one in order to be covered by the tsb)

 

Here is the TSB info for the drivers side seat ripping. Mine is also ripped so I will call the dealer next week for repair.
