Condition
Some customers may comment that there appears to be premature wear of the leather material on the driver's or passenger bucket seatback in the bolster area.
Correction
Replace the seatback leather cover with a new cover that has additional felt added to the backside of the leather to increase durability. Also, the leather material in the bolster area has been changed to a more durable vinyl material. For information on replacing the seatback cover, see Service Manual Update Bulletin #99-08-50-002.
