Description of the problem	Soon after purchasing the used car, when driving on the interstate, the driver's seat started heating up. Outside temperature was 100 degrees so heater was not turned on. It kept getting hotter and was almost impossible to sit on while driving to destination. When contacting a dealership was told there was no service bulletin on it. It finally quit on it's own and have never used it again. Just read in consumer reports that there is a recall on seat heaters. Have one recall number on seat heater problems that were in the article (set16b). Have been unable to find any additional information on this problem.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
